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!

Nancy Hamlin Vogler is March Featured Artist at Butterfield
2021-03-01 11:00 - 2021-03-31 17:00 | Butterfield Garage Art Gallery, 137 King Street, St. Augustine FL, 32084
NANCY HAMLIN-VOGLER presents BACKYARD STUDIO KITCHEN, a new series of mixed media paintings throughout March at Butterfield Garage. The artist will be present on Friday, March 5th , from 11-7 and will lead a demo/Q&A on the gallery portico on Saturday, March 20th from 1-4 pm.
During the past year’s isolation, She became immersed in a still life series, in which studio ephemera and her environment appear in diverse contexts: abstracted, realistic, within an imagined location. Hamlin-Vogler treats her subjects intriguingly, mixing her favorite materials – paints, pastels, collage, and recycled silkscreens – often leaving the viewer hanging by a thread yet satisfied with multiple possibilities.
Nancy’s artistic life has flowed in a series of interesting transitions. While in graduate school to continue her studies in French Literature, she became enthralled with silkscreen printing after taking a printmaking class at the University of Maine. She designed a colorful series of fine art cards, later to become the trademark images for her greeting card company, Eastern Sun Printworks. Upon earning her M.A., she left Maine and the USA for a backpacking trip around the world. During those profound two and a half years, the traveler kept written and painted journals, collected kitchen utensils and fabrics from many countries and gathered a wealth of experience to enrich her life’s journey and fuel her creative resources. Her career as a fine artist had thus begun.
Fast forward 35 years – after hard work and accomplishment in printmaking, she has refocused her time to paint and experiment in her spacious studio near the Fountain of Youth in St. Augustine, FL. Active in the local art scene, Hamlin-Vogler is a Managing Member of Butterfield Garage, a member of the Art Association and has received numerous high awards in outdoor juried art shows. Last year during the pandemic, Last September, several of her paintings were selected for a stellar exhibition at Chrisp Ellert Art Museum “The Nameless Now, NE FL Artists Respond”.
In 2020, Nancy was recognized with an Art Ventures grand from The Community Foundation of Northeast FL, to explore and reinterpret the contemporary still life genre. Follow her creative journey on her website: www.nancyhamlinvogler.com
Butterfield Gallery is located at 137 King St, St. Augustine, is open daily from 11-5, and has free parking front and back.

Our version of this tale is rendered with a great amount of imagination and joy,” commented Ian Mairs, director for the show. “There is less of a focus on pageantry and more on the human tale which exists at the heart of the story.”
