If your summer travels take you to St. Augustine, Florida, don't forget to stop by the school house. It's supposed to be the oldest school made of wood in the United States. Folks in New Mexico dispute that claim, but at any rate, the St. Augustine School House offers some insights into how North American buildings were constructed back in the 1700s. Sort of gives a new meaning to the term air conditioned.
