The Wandering Disciple

Pedro Menendez de Aviles stands tall among the wax figures preserved at the Potters Wax Museum in St Augustine. King Phillip II of Spain sent Menendez to capture the French settlement of Fort Carolina. Following the capturing of the fort, Menendez and his crew settled St Augustine where he would become the first Spanish Colonial Governor in Florida. This figure of Menendez is one of 160 political, celebrity, historical figures and more that are preserved in the nation's oldest wax museum. (Photo: March 17, 2020)

The Axis of Evil stand shoulder to shoulder across the aisle from their Allied counterparts. This isn’t a peace convention during World War II but an exhibit at the Potter’s Wax Museum in St Augustine. The nation’s oldest wax museum, Potter’s helps to bring the pages of the history book come alive with life like wax replicas of politicians, military leaders, government official, inventors, music and literary icons and even television and movie actors. There are over a hundred figures spanning the generations all on display within this historic facility. (Photo: March 17, 2020)
