Mount Dora History Museum reviews
5It was closed when we arrived despite us being there during “opening hours”…
Excellent small museum located on a side street. A local will give you a personal tour in the old city jail of this historic little artsy town.
Definitely worth a stop.
Weird hours and when you leave a message it takes days to get a call back. The lady (I think it's Janet) that answers seems closed minded and not very helpful. No wonder nobody wants to volunteer here!
I was the only one in the Museum and enjoyed my tour immensely. I love learning about local history, and listening to people who enjoy teaching about it. Tour fee was only $2, $1 for students, and I got to see the old jail cells as well. The dresses are probably my favorite part, they’re very pretty. A great stop while in Mt. Dora:)
An amazing piece of downtown history. The place was once a jail for Downtown and an old fire station Has an amazing story of how 3 Prisoners actually Escaped and you can see how 2 did it one of them bent the iron bars with his bare hands. They have lots of history from around the town to and some old fire Equipment from the fire station Including a wagon tha the horse would pull with a hose the staff if really friendly here as well and it's very cheep to get in if you are a student from kindergarten to collage it's only $1 other wise adults are $2 it's definitely a really cool place if your in to history and in the area I would highly recommend checking it out.
