About This FEB

Florida is rich with federal historical landmarks. A number of American space exploration pioneers were launched from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (CCSFS)  including the first U.S. Earth satellite (1958), first U.S. astronaut (1961), first U.S. astronaut in orbit (1962), first two-man U.S. spacecraft (1965), first U.S. uncrewed lunar landing (1966), and first three-man U.S. spacecraft (1968). It was also the launch site for all of the first spacecraft to (separately) fly past each of the planets in the Solar System (1962–1977). 

St. Augustine, FL was founded by Spain in 1565 and is the oldest permanent European settlement on the mainland of North America, north of Mexico. Its long colonial history extends to 1822, when Spanish East Florida was annexed to the United States as part of the Florida Territory. Roughly half of the area's buildings were built before 1925, with a substantially large number in either Spanish Colonial or Moorish Revival styles.   

Truman Little White House Located in Key West, Florida, was the winter White House of President Harry S. Truman — although it initially served as a command-and-control center for the U.S. Navy back in 1890. Since then, five other Presidents have spent time here, although none quite captured people’s minds like Truman did.
