On the Road Again! Flagler College – Flagler College is located in the heart of historic St. Augustine, Florida, the oldest continuously inhabited city in the United States. The campus is a designated National Historic Landmark, and it includes several historic buildings that were once luxury hotels built by Henry Flagler in the late 1800s. Students can easily walk or bike to many local attractions, including the Castillo de San Marcos, a 17th-century fortress. St. Augustine also offers many opportunities for outdoor fun, such as kayaking and paddleboarding on the nearby waterways, hiking in state parks, and surfing at local beaches.
