Ponce de Leon's Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park, Saint Augustine, FL
Ponce de Leon's Fountain Of Youth Archaeological Park in Saint Augustine, Florida is one of the oldest and most historically significant locations in the United States. It is believed to be the site where Juan Ponce de Leon first landed in 1513 on his search for the mythical Fountain of Youth. Today, this park is a celebration of Spanish colonization as well as an important archaeological site which has been studied since 1894 by scientists from around the world. In addition to its historical significance, visitors have access to many educational resources which help them learn about Native American cultures and customs that existed before Spanish conquest.
In addition to the archeological dig sites, visitors can explore a reconstructed Timucuan village, planetarium shows, and other interactive exhibits that provide insight into history. The centerpiece of this park is the legendary fountain itself - believed to be fed by an underground spring whose waters grant eternal youth. Visitors can take a sip from the legendary fountain and watch as a small statue of Ponce de Leon stands guard over it. There are also replicas of historic ships on display which were built by local artisans out of wood and sails that were used during Ponce de Leon's voyage to Florida in 1513.
The park grounds are also home to a variety of native wildlife such as white-tailed deer, hawks and ospreys that call this place home. The park offers numerous programs such as guided tours at various archaeological sites or nature walks with knowledgeable tour guides who share stories about early Spanish colonies in Florida or how evidence suggests that there may have been a minor settlement at this exact spot centuries ago. There are also educational lectures held throughout the year which cover topics such as early colonial life in America or recent discoveries about pre-Columbian cultures which lived in Florida before contact with Europeans occurred.
