What To Expect

Donnelly House

The Donnelly House is a beautiful Queen Anne style home built for the Love of his Life in 1893 by JP Donnelly. JP was one of the Founders of the local Yacht Club, the First Mayor of Mount Dora and quite the character. There is a twist here though and we’ll give you the low down on our Historic Downtown Electric Cart Tour.

Mount Dora Historical Society Museum

On our Historic Downtown Electric Cart Tour we'll pass by the Old Fire Station and Jail House. This building is now the Historical Society Museum and definitely worth a visit after your tour with us as it’s filled with trinkets from years gone by.

Took a tour with John and learned so much from him about Mt Dora! It was worth it. My favorite was learning about the architecture and history of the houses and businesses in the area. Great way to get around and learn a bunch of stuff while you are exploring!
