Step back in time at DeBary Hall Historic Site, a 19th-century hunting estate listed on the National Registry of Historic Places. Located in DeBary, Florida, overlooking the St. Johns River, the site is home to the oldest intact building in southwest Volusia County.
Built in 1871, DeBary Hall served as the winter retreat for a European-born wine merchant, Frederick deBary, who used his Florida estate as a center for sport hunting and hospitality. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, some of the country's wealthiest individuals, including Presidents Ulysses S. Grant and Grover Cleveland, the Astors, Goulds, Vanderbilts, and the Prince of Wales, visited DeBary Hall to hunt, fish, and enjoy the nearby cool springs.
Today, the historic site covers 10 acres and includes the 8,000-square-foot hunting lodge, stables, and other structures. Visitors can explore the remarkable buildings, view a treasure trove of historical images, and learn about the good stories of the past.
