Tucked just south of St. Augustine’s iconic downtown, Lincolnville is a neighborhood steeped in history, culture, and charm. Established in 1866 by newly freed African Americans after the Civil War, Lincolnville became a vibrant community known for its resilience, music, and deep roots in the Civil Rights Movement.
Wandering through Lincolnville’s oak-shaded streets, you’ll find a mix of beautifully preserved Victorian homes, cozy cottages, and charming bungalows — many over a century old. The area’s historic architecture, colorful character, and walkable streets make it one of St. Augustine’s most beloved neighborhoods.
Lincolnville also played a major role in the 1960s Civil Rights Movement, with leaders like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. visiting and organizing protests that helped reshape American history. Today, that proud legacy lives on, celebrated at sites like the Lincolnville Museum and Cultural Center.
With its prime location just minutes from downtown attractions, the waterfront, and some of the city’s best dining, Lincolnville offers visitors a perfect blend of history, culture, and community spirit. Whether you’re strolling past historic homes, enjoying a meal at a local café, or simply soaking in the neighborhood’s timeless beauty, Lincolnville captures the authentic heart of St. Augustine.
