OFFSITE - Bloody Sunset Field Trip to Downtown St. Augustine

Downtown St. Augustine Field Trip: History, Mystery & Lunch

Join us for a fun day in St. Augustine! We will kick things off with a visit to the St. Augustine Historical Research Library, where we will learn how writers and historians dig into the past using real archives.

Then we’ll head out on a walking tour of downtown St. Augustine and visit locations from Bloody Sunset in St. Augustine by Nancy Powell and Jim Mast. Afterward, we’ll grab lunch at a local restaurant. You’ll have time to relax, chat about the book, your favorite parts of the day, and enjoy some good food with your fellow adventurers.

Bring: comfy shoes, a notebook, and your copy of Bloody Sunset if you have it!

Parking will be at Trinity Episcopal Church at 2 Artillery Lane for a nominal fee.
