Where: WAVERLY HILLS SANATORIUM
Description: Back before the sanatorium was ever
thought of, the land was purchased by Major Thomas H.
Hays in 1883. Major Hays needed a school for his
daughters to go to, so he started a one room school
house down on pages lane and hired a woman whose name
was Lizzie Lee Harris as the teacher. Miss Harris loved
her tiny school nestling against the hillside, and
remembered her fondness for Scott's Waverley novels, so
she named her little school house "Waverley School."
Major Hays liked the peaceful sounding name so he named
his property "Waverley Hill" and the Board of
Tuberculosis Hospital kept the name when they bought the
land and opened the sanatorium.

Where: SAINT AUGUSTINE LIGHTHOUSE
Description: A Spanish watchtower, built in the
late 1500's was the predecessor of the present
St. Augustine Lighthouse. St Augustine is the
site of the oldest aid to navigation in North
America. The original watchtower became
Florida's first lighthouse in 1824. However, by
1870, the tower was threatened by shoreline
erosion and construction began on the current
lighthouse. The new tower was completed in 1874.
The old tower succumbed to the sea during a
storm in 1880.
