DeLand House Museum

Northeast Florida


This historical home, built in 1886, now serves as the headquarters of the West Volusia Historical Society and a museum for the county. You'll find lots of memorabilia and artifacts and earnest tour guides – it's like peaking into grandma's attic, if grandma was a Central Florida county.
