The Fountain of Youth is a mythical spring which supposedly restores the youth of anyone who drinks or bathes in its waters. Tales of such a fountain have been recounted around the world for thousands of years, appearing in the writings of Herodotus (5th century BC), in the Alexander Romance (3rd century AD), and in the stories of Prester John (early Crusades, 11th/12th centuries AD).
The Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park is a privately owned 15-acre (61,000 m 2) park in St. Augustine, Florida, located along Hospital Creek, part of the Intracoastal Waterway. It has been touted as the likely 1513 Florida landing site of Spanish explorer Ponce de Leon , although no evidence has been found to substantiate this claim.
Ponce de León came to Florida in 1513 searching for the fountain of youth. He didn’t find it but that does not stop tourists in St. Augustine from searching for the elusive elixir of youth.
