Abbott Tract / Uptown...female owned business haven

For Women’s History Month, there is an interesting area in St. Augustine, Florida’s Uptown neighborhood called Abbott Tract for our “In Our Backyard Series”. It’s a section of the historic city that dates to 1860, when a young woman by the name of Lucy Bellenger Abbott became the first female real estate developer in the area. Over a century and a half later, this corridor has had a renaissance of businesses opening...mostly female-owned. Rance made the trek down for a walking tour with St. Augustine Historian Leslee Keys.
