Brownie the Town Dog Grave and Memorial

Reviewed By 738eddiej

Brownie the Town Dog of Daytona Beach died in 1954, but he remains a beloved part of Daytona Beach history. Brownie was a stray dog who the city of Daytona Beach fell in love with. He was written about in national publications, became a popular tourist attraction, had his own bank account and when he died had a huge funeral and his eulogy was given by the mayor. Today, you can visit his grave and memorial. It's a wonderful site to reflect on the role our pets play in our lives and an interesting glimpse into the history of Daytona Beach's downtown. While there visit the Halifax Historical Museum (this is housed in the Bank building that housed Brownie's bank account in the 40s and 50s), and all the historic shops on Beach Street.

Gary made our Daytona Speedway All Access Tour the absolute best! He was friendly, funny and very informative! He made my 8 year olds day by offering special treatment for his volunteer help! My Grandpa is a huge NASCAR fan and attends the race yearly and still enjoyed the tour and being able to show us his favorite stuff about the track. Gary made connections with everyone, especially us Iowans.. loved his personality and tour! Highly recommend Gary as your guide! Thank you for such a great experience!

We had an absolute blast!!!! For the young, the old and in between!!! This was the best thing we have done since moving here. It would be a great during a vacation, too. We took our 13 yr old great nephew, who is with us for a month..to see the game! Wow! Wow! Wow. Not only is it on an island in a cool location,(easy in and easy out) the ppl that work there love what they do!!! They go out of their way to make sure everyone has a great time. I cannot imagine a better night for any age!!! It is worth 1000 times the price! The team is amazing! We loved the mascot, camera guys (yes you might be up on the big screen), the announcers, the ???? tunes played, the bleacher staff and even the guys at the gate...EVERYONE... was just so hospitable. The entire experience is something you will talk about for years to come. I know it is minor league, but the players, the game and the staff make it the majors. Oh and a huge heads up...check their calendars...it looks like there is always something planned. Coming up is the bud light game where parents can get a beer for a buck. I would ensure you go directly to the Tortugas site to buy tickets. They are priced the best there. Trust me, and I am as picky as they come. This, by far, is a guaranteed night of fun, excitement and a huge memory making treasure! Thank you to the Daytona Tortugas for such an amazing time! We will see you again very soon!
