All children take home a Victorian craft. All Work and No Play First graders learn about life at the lighthouse and learn chores that keepers' children were responsible for. Students make and sample homemade goodies, and perform other duties. Second graders learn how the lighthouse functions. Fourth grader students dig deeper into archaeology.
Students learn to use mapping techniques, and interpret artifacts found at the lighthouse.
Fifth grade students learn why our lighthouse was so important to St. Augustine's prosperity and learn about the lives and work of the sailors it served. This tour includes a tower climb to view how the coast has changed. The museum offers tours of the keepers' house and tower throughout the year for larger school groups or groups that may not have the time for a specialty tour. I can accommodate up to 75 total children and adults per time slot. The general tower and museum tour is designed for students at least seven years old and four feet tall.
