    Old Northwood Historic Candlelight Home Tour

    Old Northwood Historic Candlelight Home Tour

    Old Northwood is one of Palm Beaches oldest neighborhoods. It consists of over 320 buildings from…read morethe 1920's. This event included a food and house tour of the neighborhood. I was so impressed by how well put together the tour was. Unfortunately I found out about the tour after it was sold out. I still followed the Facebook page however and the morning of the event messages started popping up from people who couldn't make it and had to sell their tickets. I was able to secure three VIP tickets that included the tastings at the restaurants and the home tour. the VIP ticket was $75 and the home tour alone was $35. If you can swing the extra money for the VIP ticket that is definitely the way to go. The VIP ticket included food and drink pairings from seven restaurants in the Old Northwood District. The restaurants on the tour included Bistro Bistro Cafe, Malakor Thai Cafe, Cafe Centro, Mestizo Peruvian Restaurant, Grilled Cheese Gallery, Sunset Bar and Grill, and Table 427. The night started with wine and cookies at the Circa Who furniture store. There was free parking in a lot only a few feet from the store. All of the food and drinks I sampled were wonderful. The restaurants were so welcoming and I enjoyed everything. I definitely want to go back to each restaurant and try more of their menu. I was beyond full by the time I finished the tasting tour. The second part of the evening was the house tour. A perk of the VIP ticket was a band that let you cut to the front of the line of the house tours. There were ten historic houses on the tours The ability to cut the line was fantastic because some of the lines were extremely long. Without the VIP ticket I am not sure that I would have made it to all of the houses. The houses were amazing and the owners were welcoming. My favorite houses were the mayor's known as the Mansion, the Mango Tango House which has an Airbnb out back, and #4 and #5 which are two properties that have been combined into one compound with six aviaries, a koi pond, and gardens. All of the houses were tastefully decorated for Christmas and they all served wine and water. In addition to the house tour there was entertainment in the form of Victorian carolers and a marching band. There was also a pop up shop selling merchandise. Snacks including churros, soft pretzels, and popcorn were dispensed on the street. Molly's Trolleys provided transportation up and down the street. I definitely feel that you get a value for your money with the VIP ticket. I wouldn't want to tour without it. We arrived at 2 and didn't get finished until past 8 so it was a very long afternoon/ night. This tour is very popular and the lines to get into houses got quite long so the ability to skip the line is critical to seeing everything. This event also sells out so start looking for tickets to be posted in September. According to my tour guide the houses and restaurants change every year so I will definitely be back. This was one of my favorite events that I attended this holiday season.

    Indian River Hauntings - Larry in City Hall

    I loved my time with Indian River Hauntings. I think I found out about them because they were on an…read moreinternet list of historical tours. The drive was a little further than I anticipated (2 hours for me) but it was worth it. Prior to the tour I didn't know anything about Fellsmere but by the time I finished my tour I was in love with the town. Larry Lawson who operates the tour is an ex cop. I like how he approaches his investigations as someone who is collecting evidence to prove or disapprove. The tour began at 7 PM at the Fellsmere City Hall which is a historic building that used to be a school. The building may be haunted as we heard banging in the elevator area during our talk. The people at the top of the stairs swore they heard footsteps in the hall behind them even though our group were the only people in the building. From city hall we walked in a circle through Fellsmere. It is very dark at night but Larry and his son and nephew took the utmost care to keep everyone safe. Other sites we visited on the tour were the Marsh Landing, The Fellsmere Inn, and the Marian Fell Library. The city of Fellsmere lets Larry have a key to all of the public buildings which was very cool. Along the way we learned about the history of Fellsmere and different paranormal experiences people have had. The tour was not hokey but very informative for a history lover such as myself. The tour concluded at the City Hall where Larry and his family let everyone play with their ghost hunting equipment. A lady showed me a spike she was getting next to an old desk in an alcove next to the stage. Everyone looked like they were having a great time and you could here a startled scream from time to time echo through the hallway. Larry also offers a tour of Vero Beach. He will also be leading tours during the Treasure Coast History Festival in downtown Fort Pierce in January. He is very knowledgeable about the history of the Treasure Coast and I enjoyed talking to him. You can see dates of tours on Facebook. You can just show up for a tour or make a reservation. I opted to just show up since I live so far away and wasn't sure if I was going to make it. There was no problem with just dropping in and our tour numbered around 20 people who were super friendly. The tour only cost $12 which was super cheap for the two plus hours we spent with him. If you are in the area take a tour and even if you aren't it's worth a drive.

The inside was very nicely staged and I liked that each room had little papers that described what you were seeing and which of the furniture pieces were original. Randomly, my favorite part was probably the book of letters they had in the office room from "Jack" who lived in the house. They were so cute to read through!

She put so much time and effort into preparing everything. And it was such a wonderful performative experience. All of the children and parents had a wonderful time! Miss Cheryl comes from a long family line of school teachers, and you can tell she loves working with children from her demeanor and the creativity, which came into planning this event. If you are ever able to visit one of the mommy and me sessions with her, I strongly recommend it! After story time, we were able to see Laura the Docents paper crafts which are available for sale and we were given a walk-through tour. It was incredible to see Cheryl's childhood bedroom and the phenomenal collaboratively family built dollhouse, which was her mothers and then hers. Thank you for such an amazing time and for making Halloween so special. McDougal Home is such a phenomenal piece of old Florida history and what once was of the farmland.

Today was the pioneer day, but was so hot, although really fun. They had a lot of food trucks offering ice cream, BBQ, popcorn, farmers market, pony ride, a lot of animals as Llama, alpaca, duck, rabbit, horses. Had the opportunity to meet Apple and NY daughter bought one piece of her azmzing job. Really recommend this place, even normal days, we usually come here to do picnic or play at the playground.

There are a total…read moreof about 15 buildings/structures (many of them original or exact replicas) that tell the story of early settlers and native dwellers. Each building has a sign with a QR code to scan that links to a short You Tube video elaborating on the people who lived in them and their stories. Even if it's a hot sunny day, there are multiple shady spots to sit like the rocking chair on the veranda or the air-conditioned church. You can actually walk in most of the buildings. My 12-year-old son's favorite areas were the Lanier house with it's rooster and hens walking and clucking around, the goat in the back of the house, and the knot-tying area in the exhibit on Florida's cowmen. At $4 for children $6 for adults (if you get a coupon from the Ocala History Center), this is an educational experience in a beautiful setting. You can also bike, walk, paddle, or picnic in nearby Shingle Creek Park when you are done.
