October is the inaugural BUTTERFIELD GARAGE INVITATIONAL. This year, many of the member artists have invited artists they admire, resulting in a diverse mix of seasoned artists in the community, family members who are artists, and newcomers who are beginning to make their mark. Butterfield Garage is excited for the opportunity to showcase these talents. Visitors to the gallery will have an opportunity to discover and explore the work of these artists. During this month long event, each invited artist will be available in the gallery to talk about their work with discussions of why they were chosen.
Butterfield Garage welcomes all to visit the gallery and explore this extraordinary group of artists. They invite you to come talk first hand with both the artist and the Butterfield member who chose them.

The Dark of the Moon Ghost Tour is the only tour that gets you into the Lighthouse at night. The Lighthouse offers two options for this experience, both of which include the option to rent EMF readers.
Ghost tour: This 1.5 to 2 hour tour includes a guided talk through the 1876 Keepers’ House and the 1874 St. Augustine Lighthouse tower. Your guide will share true tales from the history of our Light Station. Tours are offered year round on Friday, Saturday and Sundays and more days during peak times. Purchase a combo ticket with regular daytime admission and save on this tour. Expect larger groups during peak season and holidays.
Investigation Only: See for yourself why we are consistently ranked as one of the most haunted sites in St. Augustine! Investigation Only tours are offered on a more limited basis than the Ghost Tour, with fewer spaces available at each. Rent readers or bring your own equipment.
Space is limited! Purchase tickets online in advance to secure your spot.
On a Dark of the Moon Ghost Tour you not only hear spooky stories based on real history in the lighthouse at night, you also help the Lighthouse investigate our maritime past. Ghost Tours support both maritime archaeology and historic research discoveries at the Museum. Stepping up to shiver down your spine helps save our underwater heritage!
