Experience colonial time in historic downtown St. Augustine as soldiers guarding the town are dismissed for the night. Their replacements arrive to take over guarding Government House. The commander of the new watch puts the replacements through a drill before they are allowed to take over the post. The retiring soldiers are ordered to clear their weapons. The blasts of musket fire assured St. Augustine that the changing of the guard had taken place and the town was safe for the night. This traditional military changing of the guard takes place at 7 p.m. in front of St. Augustine’s Government House in the Plaza de la Constitucion.
