What to expect

In Fernandina the history can be a little unlike any other history in America. We pride ourselves in having eight separate flags that flew over our island in a short period of 300 years. Many king of the mountain types came here in hopes of conquering our island. The question is why would so many different people groups choose Fernandina over other parts of North America? In our tour we will discuss all of these mysteries along with exploring the streets and homes that were built just prior to and after the Civil War.
