Event Description

The first floor of the restored 19th century Edwardian styled home will be available for tours. The DeLand House features Frame Vernacular architecture built in 1886 and is one of the city’s oldest buildings. It was remodeled to Neo-classical style c. 1900. Ninety-five percent of the period furnishings in the museum have been donated by interested, dedicated, generous citizens of the area. The interior showcases an extensive collection of period photographs, authentic artifacts and memorabilia that trace the history and development of DeLand and the surrounding area. The Conrad Research Center offers exhibits featuring the history of the DeLand area including hundreds of vintage photos, maps, directories, phone books and genealogies from community histories dating from the late 1800s. The museum and center are open Tuesdays through Saturdays 12-4pm.
