Formally known as The Grand Old Highway, A1A was built in 1927 to open up Florida's tourism industry. The road runs along the Altantic Ocean, from Key West at the southern tip of Florida, to Fernandina Beach, just south of Georgia on Amelia Island.
This exhibit highlights sites along what is now the A1A Scenic and Historic Coastal Byway from Jacksonville to Cocoa Beach. Explore our maps, images, and challenge yourself with the scavenger hunt!
