Ashley did an amazing job staying in character while explaining all of the items on display throughout the museum. This is definitely a must see attraction when visiting St. Augustine.

I was not sure what to expect and how interesting a tour of a store could be, but I was surprised. My wife and daughter were with me. Orville was the tour guide. He took us through the front end of the store showing us how life was in the early 1900s. And then in the back room he gave a hilarious demonstration of the goat washing machine and bicycles. The tour was a lot of fun and informative and Orville kept my 8-year-old daughter engaged with his stories.

Geneviene (sorry if I spelled it wrong) was great! Her personality really sold the tour! We got some great demonstrations and a look at contraptions from yesteryear.
