This is a real Titan I missile.  The Martin Marietta missile is 110' high and was the first multistage ICBM (intercontinental ballistic missile) in the United States.  This missile was donated to the Cordele Rotary Club by the Federal Government.

St Augustine is the oldest continuously occupied European-established settlement in the US.  It was founded on September 8, 1565 by Spanish admiral and Florida's first governor, Pedro Menandez de Aviles. 

The Castillo de San Marcos was the northernmost outpost of Spain's New World empire.  It is the oldest masonry fort and the best-preserved example of a Spanish colonial fortification in the continental US.
