Take a leisurely lunch on your own at one of the eclectic historic district restaurants and enjoy shopping down the city's charming thoroughfare. Return to the museum for a discussion of rare artifacts from Fernandina's more distant past. Learn about the archeological digs on Amelia Island and view an irreplaceable and intact water pitcher from the 16th century, as well additional Native American artifacts that highlight the amazing story of Amelia Island.

Round out your day with a guided stroll through the lovely architectural splendor of Fernandina Beach's historic district where you will enter a 19th century home, and hear fascinating stories of the people and events that shaped Fernandina's character.
