Been here a few times. Small, but very cool. Awesome exhibit to walk through inside as well as doing the snake venom extraction. Very intense and fun, but safe. They also bring out different reptiles for the kids and adults to touch and hold. Another little hidden gem in Deland that people have to check out with the kiddos

This is a small, fairly intimate museum with two floors. One exhibit was pairing permanent collection paintings and prints with poems and then voting for your favorite. The cashier was engaging and asked which one I voted for and why. Upstairs were additional permanent collection artworks which which piqued my interest.

It's worth the time to visit. Especial, if you are interested in gem stones, nature or geology. The also have a wildflower garden next to the museum. It's free! So, this is a perfect stop for those on a budget.

Charming home filled with history. We loved all of the appliances and gadgets in the kitchen. Our tour guide told us about the history of DeLand and its' early settlers as well as the history of the home. This is a great tour for history buffs and it is very inexpensive.
