This Government House has been the municipal headquarters for Spanish, British and U.S. administrations since it was built in 1598. The original structure no longer stands, however there has been a government building on this site since then. The museum inside the building features the popular exhibit entitled, First Colony: Our Spanish Origins. It explores its history from early native settlements through European colonization to Flagler's Golden Age. In presentations here, you can see the components of the old city's economy, architecture, culture and archaeology as well as silver pieces retrieved from shipwrecks off of the coast.
