DeLand House Museum, Historical museum in DeLand, Florida
The DeLand House Museum occupies a Victorian house at 137 West Michigan Avenue, built in 1886 by Henry Addison DeLand. Its rooms hold objects and documents on the history of western Volusia County, and the West Volusia Historical Society runs it as a historic house museum, opened in 1990.
Henry Addison DeLand built this house in 1886 as his family home. The city acquired it in 1988 and converted it into a museum to share local history with visitors.
The West Volusia Historical Society maintains collections of materials and documents that detail the development of the local community through different periods.
The museum is open Tuesday through Saturday, and staff members can answer questions about the exhibits and help guide you through the rooms. Groups are welcome to call ahead and arrange a visit that works with their schedule.
The house passed through several owners before the city of DeLand received it as a donation in 1988, and it opened to the public two years later, in 1990. The West Volusia Historical Society runs it and keeps material on western Volusia County there.
