I spent a Friday morning here. It was super quiet with plenty of time to enjoy each piece of art. It fit in beautifully with the reading I've been doing lately - "A Land Remembered" and anything by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings. If I'd seen this art (especially the mural at the beginning with native Florida plants) sooner, I would have been able to better visualize what I read. Here's to Florida!

This former home of J. D. Rockefeller has a very interesting history. The free entry (donations are welcome) is nice, and if you can - call ahead for a guided tour (with the bonus of seeing the third floor). An app for our phone for a self guided tour was available which gave us a nicer experience than just wandering around by providing a narration at individual stations throughout the house. With so much information about J. D. Rockefeller & Standard Oil, and plenty of memorabilia from that era, we easily spent a couple of hours visiting.

The MacDonald House Museum and Welcome Center is located in a beautiful, Queen Anne style building built in 1903. Rotating displays and interpretive panels tell the story of Florida and Ormond Beach from the earliest inhabitants, the Timucuan Indians through the Flagler era, the Birth Place of Speed and John D. Rockefeller. The theater housed in the MacDonald House shows three different (fifteen minute long) movies on the history and culture of Ormond Beach continuously throughout the day. Free Admission. The MacDonald House Museum and Welcome Center also presents Scenic Historical Bus Tours of the Ormond Loop and historic homes twice a month, for ticketing information contact the Ormond Beach Historical Society.

There is major bridge construction where the actual entrance is, so it is hard to find. We parked and walked to look for it. it was definitely worth the extra effort!
