Though I must admit I love strolling the streets of Winter Park, a detour to visit the delightful Charles Hosmer Morse Museum is a delightful way to spend a couple of hours surrounded by exquisite Tiffany creations [and is also a nice air conditioned respite].

We didn’t know much about Albin Polasek before this visit. We discovered that he was an accomplished sculptor, artist and much more. His legacy is alive and thriving at this museum. The grounds are peaceful and dotted amongst the beautiful surroundings are his magnificent sculptures. Our docent Denise, was informative and truly admires the man and his works. She told us many stories about the man and the pieces in his collection, so that his interesting life came alive thanks to her commentary. This was the first trip to a local museum we went to in over a year, because of the pandemic. It was delightful and worth the wait!

What a pleasure and pleasant surprise we found a full service place to eat for a fraction of the cost to dine off campus! After our wonderful 1-hour scenic boat tour, we decided to head towards campus for a walking tour of Rollins. The tour guide mentioned the campus had shown up on the Princeton review as one of the most beautiful campuses, so of course I wanted to check it out for myself. Our guide also mentioned the schools’ cafeteria was open to the public as well! The campus was indeed beautiful and you could have a fantastic meal on a beautiful patio overlooking the lake! If you’re ever in the area or you’re doing a scenic boat tour make sure you add the Rollins campus walking tour and cafe to you must-see list! Food, customer service and views were all A-1! Also, check-out the rows of rocks ...

Beautiful, beautiful place. Our daughter just got married here last week. She did all the arrangements over the phone, since we live in Indiana. We were over the top pleased with the beautiful place. All the cypress trees, the moss, the lake, the white egrets were just starting to gather in the trees for mating season. Not much parking space.

The museum provided an intimate look at the African-American community that established the Winter Park area. There were beautiful photographs of community members and their contribution to the Winter Park community. There is also artwork upstairs by various artists that is amazing at best! If you like to get a glimpse in to the unique beginnings of Winter Park, this museum is for you!

Saturday morning fun activity. Great variety of vendors. We felt that the vegetable/fruit stands were nicely displayed and organized. Prices were very reasonable, unlike other towns that we have marketed in. Very clean and COVID conscious. Everyone wore masks.
