Excellent. Many more treasures than I was expecting. We loved it! My dad has 2 pieces in the museum and it was so special for my son to get to see them, too.

Mount Dora Historical Society Museum

Reviewed By davesQ624MZ - Wellingborough, United Kingdom

We were stopping in Florida and went for a day trip to Mount Dora. We found the little Historical Society Museum hidden up a side street. It cost just a couple of Dollars for the entrance fee and is quite small inside, but it is crammed full with interesting bits and pieces of history from the area. The building was originally the fire station back in the 1920's and then a jail, so some of the exhibits are connected to the building's origins. The three prison cells are still there to view (or lock someone up in if you wish). The lady that runs the museum is very helpful with answering questions. It took my wife and I around 45 minutes or so to get around and see the items and read their descriptions. Mount Dora was a really nice town to visit and finding the museum was a bit of a bonus for us.
