Amelia Island Museum of History in Fernandina Beach, Florida

The Amelia Island Museum of History invites guests to step back in time and experience 4,000 years of rich regional history. From the Indigenous Timucua people to Spanish and French explorers to Victorian aristocrats, the museum takes great care to show the unique phases of this area’s past and highlight the different groups that have called it home.

The former depot housed the Amelia Island/Fernandina Beac

Red Barrels Historical Memorial in Lam Sin, Thailand

Near this site, and throughout southern Thailand in the early 1970s, there occurred an extremely horrific series of events which few persons outside of Thailand are aware of, and often falls upon deaf ears within.
