Excellent tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and was able to share detailed information about Ms. Bethune's life.
2. Brownie the Town Dog Grave and Memorial

Brownie the Town Dog of Daytona Beach died in 1954, but he remains a beloved part of Daytona Beach history. Brownie was a stray dog who the city of Daytona Beach fell in love with. He was written about in national publications, became a popular tourist attraction, had his own bank account and when he died had a huge funeral and his eulogy was given by the mayor. Today, you can visit his grave and memorial. It's a wonderful site to reflect on the role our pets play in our lives and an interesting glimpse into the history of Daytona Beach's downtown. While there visit the Halifax Historical Museum (this is housed in the Bank building that housed Brownie's bank account in the 40s and 50s), and all the historic shops on Beach Street.

This former home of J. D. Rockefeller has a very interesting history. The free entry (donations are welcome) is nice, and if you can - call ahead for a guided tour (with the bonus of seeing the third floor). An app for our phone for a self guided tour was available which gave us a nicer experience than just wandering around by providing a narration at individual stations throughout the house. With so much information about J. D. Rockefeller & Standard Oil, and plenty of memorabilia from that era, we easily spent a couple of hours visiting.

There is major bridge construction where the actual entrance is, so it is hard to find. We parked and walked to look for it. it was definitely worth the extra effort!
