CHANGING OF THE GUARD

St. Augustine, FL

Travel back over 260 years to see and hear the simple daily chore of securing the Ancient City for the night. Twilight time in colonial St. Augustine sees soldiers guarding the town dismissed for the night, as their replacements arrive to take over guarding Government House. The commander of the new watch puts the replacement soldiers through a rigorous drill before they take over their posts. The retiring soldiers are ordered to clear their weapons with the command of “Disparen!” The resounding blast of musket fire assures 18th century St. Augustine that the changing of the guard has taken place and the town is safe for the night.
