Potter's Wax Museum, nestled in the heart of St. Augustine's historic district at 31 Orange Street, holds the distinction of being America's first and oldest wax museum, established in 1948 by George L. Potter. Inspired by a childhood visit to Madame Tussaud's in London, Potter brought his vision to life, creating a captivating collection that now features over 160 meticulously crafted wax figures. Visitors can encounter a diverse array of personalities, from historical figures like George Washington and Cleopatra to cultural icons such as Elvis Presley and Harry Potter. The museum's commitment to authenticity is evident in the intricate details of each figure, with eyes handmade in Germany and hands sculpted in Belgium. Housed within the historic Old Drugstore building, Potter's Wax Museum offers a self-guided, family-friendly experience that blends education with entertainment. Open daily from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., it's a must-visit destination for those exploring the rich tapestry of St. Augustine's past and present.
