DeBary Hall Historic Site

DeBary Hall Historic Site is located at Sunrise Boulevard in DeBary, Florida and is approximately 30 miles from Daytona Beach. The hall was the vacation home of wine merchant Frederick deBary and is now a ten acre estate featuring the 8,000 square foot main home. Guided tours are provided with the visiting hours 10am to 4pm Tuesday to Saturday and 12noon to 4pm on Sundays.

The guided tours allow visitors see the winter home and the estate as well and help to gain an understanding of the St Johns River region and the people who worked the land here. The visitors' understanding of the area is enhanced by exhibits, artifacts and multimedia programs. There is also a trail for hikers to explore and enjoy a picnic at the trailhead pavilion.

An Imagidome Theater presentation is given at the visitor center, which explains the history of the St Johns River and how deBary helped to develop it. The site is also a bird sanctuary and visitors can learn about the animals and plants around the estate through the hour long ecological tours, which are available between 10am and 3pm Tuesday to Saturday. Meetings, weddings and other private functions can be held at the hall with room to accommodate up to 100 guests.
