Aviles Street Merchants Association
• The Oldest Commercial Street in North America
• Just off of the Historic Plaza |
|
Reminiscent of old world Europe, Aviles Street is the oldest street in North America, dating back to the 1500s. In the heart of the old town, this charming brick-paved street is lined with art galleries, sidewalk cafes, boutiques, specialty shops with handcrafted jewelry and antiques, a historical research library, museums and Bed & Breakfast Inns. Aviles Street is located in the Original Art District of St. Augustine, which has attracted artists from around the world since the late 1800s. Originally encouraged by railroad magnate Henry Flagler, the art colony thrives to this day with a lively mix of artist-owned galleries, co-ops and artist studios featuring works in all media.
