Things to do in the summer
In the spirit of finding fun, (mostly free) indoor events to escape the Florida heat!
To visit the Casements, we are venturing a
little bit north to Ormond Beach. Whether you are relocating to coastal central
Florida, already live here part of the year, all of the year, or are just visiting,
Ormond offers fantastic options for dining and shopping, as well as miles of
our famous beaches.
The Casements, named for the large hand-cut
casement windows that adorn the mansion, has been beautifully restored to
function as the Cultural Center for the City of Ormond Beach. Set on the shore
of the Halifax River, and just two blocks from the Atlantic Ocean, the late
John D. Rockefeller's winter home is known as "The Jewel of Ormond
Beach."
The Casements welcomes visitors Monday through
Friday from 1-4 pm, and Saturday from 10:00am to 12pm. Tours are conducted on
the hour. Come learn about the history of the mansion and grounds for free!
Visit special displays including Boy Scouts of America historical memorabilia
and a collection of Hungarian festival costumes and artifacts. The Casements
also hosts numerous events throughout the year, including monthly movies under
the stars, cooking classes, festivals, and more.
Monthly Gallery Exhibits:
Each month the Casements’ Gallery displays various
local artists and photographers. The exhibits open with a free public reception
on the First Friday of every month from 5:00pm to 8:00pm. Please call The
Casements (386) 676-3216 for information.
