General Note
Accompanying note "The Fountain of Youth is synonymous with romance, adventure, discoveries. A new World Florida! Hidden away among the century old oaks, cedars and magnolias, the fabled fountain of Don Juan Ponce de Leon still bubbles forth, as thousands of people are constantly finding their way to this National Shrine, following the footsteps of this famous Spanish explorer who first landed on the mainland of North America only a few hundred feet away, A.D. 1513, in his search for eternal youth. He was followed by Don Pedro Menendez A.D. 1565, who laid the foundations for St. Augustine, and built here the first permanent Christian mission in North America."
