What an amazing college with so much history in St. Augustine FL. The group of us loved touring around the college which has so many photo opportunities. The Ponce de Leon hotel built in the 1800's which has had presidents and many famous people as guests, was wired for electricity with the power being supplied by generators supplied by Flagler's friend, Thomas Edison. When electricity was first put in Henry M. Flagler hired staff to turn power on and off for his residents, because the people staying at the hotel were too afraid to turn the switches on and off as very few people had electricity back then. It also has the oldest clock in the United States which was gifted to Flagler by Thomas Edison you will witness the largest collection of Tiffany stained glass in the world, as Tiffany was responsible for the interior design of the hotel. former hotel is now Flagler College, with the students presenting the tours.
