Злий святий Августин: контрабанди, публічні будинки та азартні ігри в стародавньому місті

Огляд

The Wicked St. Augustine tour delves into the unwritten history of the nation's oldest city. You will hear stories of the illicit industries that made the town a financial success, all while avoiding the reputation of a sinful city. From its founding St. Augustine had a thriving tavern, gambling and prostitution industry, even while portraying a city founded on religious principles. See the locations of high stakes gambling, speak easy taverns, and private clubs which skirted around the laws of the day, like prohibition. Learn how the political powers knew of these activities, secretly supported their providers, all while keeping a squeaky clean image.

This was a really interesting tour! We were fortunate enough to take the tour on a night that Ann Colby, author of Wicked St. Augustine, was the tour guide. You could tell she was an expert on the subject matter and she was very informative and entertaining. This is historical information that you won't learn from ordinary history or text books. But it is important history that helped mold St. Augustine from it's early beginnings up until the middle of the 20th century. If your are going to St. Augustine, this tour should be on your "must do" list. It was great fun for my wife and I. Meeting Ann was a true pleasure!

Thank you so much for the kind words. Ann is a fantastic story teller and brings the experience to life with her knowledge and presentation. We feel this is an important untold history as well!

If you are into history, you will appreciate learning about the hidden history of the city, of the rich and famous, of the women's role in society over time. If you are not into history, you will enjoy the evening walk around town listening to vivid stories that will transport you back in time. Ann, our tour guide, was dressed in a gown from an old era, and her antique lantern illuminated the path ahead. Sometimes, when guides dress up, they compensate for a lack of substance in their tours with such a gimmick. But Ann was all substance - a lawyer by trade, she engaged in deep research to develop content for this tour and even wrote a book on the topics you'll hear about. This tour changed my understanding of not only St. Augustine's history, but the US history as well. I highly recommend it.
