The National Society of The Colonial Dames of America in The State of Florida was incorporated in
1899. In 1939, they bought the Ximenez-Fatio House from the Fatio heirs to use as their state house
museum. Considered as one of St. Augustine’s best-preserved Spanish colonial dwellings, the museum depicts the boarding house lifestyle of Florida’s Territorial/Early Statehood Period. It is one of
the first museums in America to interpret 19th century women’s history.
