Description
The aptly named Oldest House Museum was reportedly built in 1829 by Francis Watlington, a seafarer. Watlington, his wife and his nine daughters lived in the house for decades. The architecture of the house was heavily influenced by the Colonial frame buildings of New England, it was moved to its present location on Duval Street in 1829. Inside, you'll see gold salvaged from shipwrecks, paintings, model ships and a separate cookhouse with a beehive oven. Admission is $5 for adults and $1 for children under 12. Cash only, credit cards not accepted.
