Amelia
Island has several things to see. We
enjoyed walking on a pier at the state park and seeing the beach. 
In
Fernandina Beach, we visited the Nassau County courthouse (built in 1891). Besides being one of the oldest county
courthouses in Florida and an example of Victorian style, John’s
brother Jack was involved in designing and managing the restoration in
2002!!! We got to hear some of the
background problems and stories behind the restoration. I loved the “picture” showing the steps and
history of the layers within the wall of the courthouse.
This
bell was used as a fire alarm until the 1930’s.
The columns are Corinthian columns in cast iron and so much gorgeous woodwork
inside.
