schoolhouse have some
3:41
little figurines in here there's a boy

wearing a dunce cap I don't really think
3:46
you go to school these days if you
3:48
misbehave that the teacher will put a
3:49
dunce cap on you it probably be frowned
3:51
upon
3:52
but yep that's the duns cap and this say
3:55
press button count to 20 and watch
3:57
professor and Johnny come to life and
4:00
tell you about school life in the early
4:03
days there it goes well well good to see
4:07
you welcome to the old school and to the
4:10
mid
4:11
1800s I say that because this is how the
4:14
nation's oldest wooden school house
4:16
looked at that time and our clothing is
4:18
of that period we was dressed this way
4:20
in 1931 by graduates of the class of
4:24
1864 during the class reunion that's
4:27
right Johnny and they also decorated
4:29
this little School the way they
4:30
remembered it when they were here as a
4:33
matter of fact on the back wall there
4:35
are some photographs of the class taken
4:37
at that reunion and the class role the
4:41
school itself was built sometime before
4:43
1763 during the first Spanish period
4:46
very good Johnny the school is built of
4:48
Cypress and Cedar with handmade nails
4:50
and wooden pegs this is the oldest
4:53
wooden structure in St Augustine and it
4:56
has never been reconstructed the first
4:59
pupils Oran they came here to learn
5:01
English now we learn arithmetic and
5:04
other stuff as well as reading and
5:05
writing H some boys and girls learn
5:08
their arithmetic Johnny Johnny did not
5:11
do his homework he hasn't learned his
5:13
six times multiplication table and
5:15
that's why he's wearing the dun cap but
5:18
Professor I had to chop wood last night
5:20
to bring to school I see it cost 122
5:24
cents a day for us to get our learning
5:26
if our parents don't have money that
5:28
kind of arrangement Johnny a bar system
5:31
that's correct well you do know your
5:33
economics however you'll wear that dun
5:36
cap until you learn your six times table
5:39
boy at this school T fishing I making a
5:42
easy young man this is no laughing
5:45
matter hold your tongue or you know
5:47
where you'll go yes sir sorry sir
5:50
sometimes the children are unruly in
5:52
class then they must spend time under
5:54
the stairway there until they decide to
5:57
behave we call it the dungeon the stairs
6:00
themselves are too old and narrow to
6:02
allow visitors IM wearing a Dun cap than
6:05
also being put in a dungeon when you
6:07
misbehave live while I strive to educate
6:10
children my wife keeps busy with her
6:12
duties upstairs in our living quarters
6:15
or in the kitchen outside she also that
6:18
was that was in the window which we hope
6:20
you will visit well you can now consider
6:23
yourselves graduates of the old
6:25
schoolhouse be sure to pick up your
6:27
diploma as you leave can I get too
6:30
Professor I think you have a few years
6:32
of school left Johnny but perhaps you
6:35
can move up to work with the older more
6:37
advanc student soon and have your own
6:40
quill pen wow thank you for coming to
6:43
visit don't forget your diploma and
6:45
enjoy your stay in the nation's oldest
6:47
city bye thank you now when you step
6:51
outside so they did not cook indoors
6:53
there is a little grill out here but I
6:55
don't know if they use that back then
6:56
that might have been the well to be
6:58
honest that looks like a a well of some
7:00
sort the cooking was done outside the
7:03
building in another facility called the
7:05
kitchen which I showed which is made of
7:07
the same material the kitchen was not
7:09
used for a cafeteria it was
7:12
used I guess for the people who live
7:14
there the kitchen was not used for a
7:17
cafeteria for
7:19
modern in our modern schools the
7:21
teachers who taught the older school did
7:23
their own cooking in this building
7:24
that's what it was the teachers would
7:26
cook in here
7:29
and these don't have a story to tell but
7:32
they don't talk but they have the little
7:33
mannequins in here symbolizing what it
7:35
would have been like you got the fire
7:37
place over there you got the table got
7:39
them making the bread the food really
7:43
awesome the reason they made the kitchen
7:45
separate is in case there was a fire the
7:47
only thing that would be destroyed would
7:49
be the kitchen and not it's time to ring
7:52
that
8:00
Bell schools in session
8:00
get your learning
8:01
on little school dust here the privy
8:04
also known as the ous the necessary the
8:07
ouse different words before Plumbing
8:10
generally went indoors this building was
8:12
necessary part of everyday
8:13
lot adequate for most
8:17
homes you would sit your highe down on
8:19
there take care of
8:25
business and now that seems like such a
8:25
far-fetched idea but I've heard stories
8:27
of older people they would tell me that
8:29
they or their grandparents or parents
8:32
when they first got indoor plumbing
8:34
hearing stories that they knew people
8:36
that were older when they first remove
8:38
started not using ouses had indoor
8:40
plumbing and people would say why would
8:42
I want to smell up and use the bathroom
8:44
in my own home which really it kind of
8:47
makes sense I mean I it kind of does
8:49
make
8:50
sense leave the house and take care of
8:54
it outside I mean I don't want to do
8:56
that but I could see the philosophy when
8:58
it first started we used to First
8:59
started having indoor plumbing on why
9:01
why would you want to do that and
9:03
defecate inside so evidently these are
9:05
some of the teachers that taught
9:11
here I could be misinterpreting that
9:12
from what the ticket when I bought the
9:14
ticket in the inside said so this is
9:17
Jose
9:18
Marty educator writer poet Statesman
9:21
Maybe not maybe he wasn't I don't think
9:24
so I don't think that's I don't think
9:27
that's correct I don't think these were
9:29
the
9:31
teachers n this is a liberator of Peru
9:34
well worth the $8 admission I also got a
9:36
magnet some other souvenirs as well but
9:38

33:02
a very busy here in St Augustine today
33:06
last day of the
33:08
year walking by the fort
33:38
it always amazes me these places that
33:38
are now kind of you know just tourist
33:40
attractions everyone up top taking
33:42
selfies getting photos of the
33:45
water you just think of like the history
33:47
of people that were here before like for
33:49
example this wall right here was used as
33:53
a backdrop for the demise of many many
33:55
people who stood here
33:59
and their life ended in an
34:01
instant just an instant with
34:09
the firing Squadron
34:09
there and they were standing against
34:11
here you could even see holes in the
34:16
wall hundreds and hundreds of holes in
34:19
the wall still
34:21
here and those people in no way shape or
34:25
form
34:26
thought that
34:29
multiple years later people would be
34:31
standing here this would be viewed as a
34:34
tourist
34:35
attraction always fascinated by that
34:38
aspect of things what we're doing now
34:40
what happens to us and where we
34:43
are different Generations look at it as
34:47
not only historical but also look at it
34:49
it serves a different purpose and as
34:51
long as you don't think
34:53
about what
34:55
happened at a spot how those people felt
34:58
at those
35:22
wow the discovery of Florida Pon Leon
35:22
Juan H Leon landed near the
35:25
spot 1513
35:28
so somewhere near this very
35:30
spot Mr
35:32
delion Juan
35:40
Pon who was shown here a little homage
35:40
he's pointing that
35:47
direction near this spot not at this
35:47
spot but near this
35:49
spot 1513 pretty
35:53
awesome pretty cool he is from a
35:56
distance pointing Maybe maybe he's
35:57
pointing towards the spot which I think
35:59
is closer to the Fountain of Youth which
36:00
is the direction he's pointing to be
36:02
honest I don't know exactly where he
36:03
landed
36:04
but nonetheless this is the cross
36:07
streets it's out a it over to the one
36:10
only oldest house as shown by the sign
36:15
here and this little
36:17
marker the walls of this authentic
36:20
example of early Spanish Colonial
36:22
home were built soon after the town was
36:25
burned during 17702
36:28
changes and
36:29
additions per generation reflects the
36:32
city's history architecture intercage
36:34
continuous occupancy of the site
36:36
European since the early
36:39
1600s the oldest
36:55
house the Gonzalez Alvarez house more
36:55
than three centuries this site has been
36:56
occupied by St August
36:58

37:05
1650 the oldest House Museum and Gardens
37:05
is open till 5:00 every day 10:00 a.m.
37:08

37:10

37:20
it's after 2:00 it's 3:00 right now on
37:22
New Year's Eve they have closed up GNA

designated the oldest house oh hear a
37:59
train in the
38:01
distance very old area St Augustine the
38:05
oldest
38:18
trolley wonder if people are going to
38:18
get off here thinking that they could go
38:20
in the oldest house but it's a holiday
38:22
thing is no one's going to get off the
38:23
tram because it's closed so the tram is
38:26
