    Mount Dora Community Building - Ace from LA Guns

    Important Note: If you park in the Mount Dora Free Public Parking area at 428 E 5th Ave, it's only…read morelike a 4-minute walk to the Community Building. This was my first time seeing a show at this venue; honestly, I never knew it existed until I bought tickets to see KK's Priest, LA Guns, and Burning Witches. I purchased my tickets a little over a month ago when I found out KK added Mount Dora to one of their stops. Originally, I was planning on going to Fort Lauderdale to see them, but this worked out better because I was able to stay local during Bike Week. I am surprised the Mount Dora Community Building is hosting Metal shows since its more of an event center for plays and the seats are mounted to the floor, yet they had a good turn out and the crowd wasn't too out of control. The bands were fantastic, I couldn't have asked for a better evening. Although I came to see KK & Ripper Owen's, I was really looking forward to seeing the all-girl metal band from Sweden, Burning Witches. If you get a chance to see them while they are in the US, I highly recommend going. The venue seats about 600 patrons, most everyone has a good view of the stage in the seated position; during metal shows everyone stands, so good luck with visibility. Regardless, the acoustics here are excellent, and the audiovisual crew were exceptional. Security was a breeze, no pat downs, just ticket checks at the door. The show was supposed to start at 6:30pm, but we didn't even get in the door until almost 7:30pm. When we fist arrived staff were only serving beer, cash only, exact change, WTF!!?? After Burning Witches finished the bar had more change and a better variety of drinks to choose from including a small variety of liquor. I also noticed they started accepting credit cards. Get it together people this is a Metal Concert. The venue was very clean and overall, I was happy the event was here, but the restroom situation sucks, pretty much a line out the door most of the evening. You might be able to sneak in during a set if you're on an end seat, but good luck leaving and returning to your seat in the center of the row while the band is playing. I like the intimacy of venues like this because it is easy to just run into the performers and chat with them a bit. While I was here, I was able to meet Laura Guldemond, Romana Kalkuhl, and Jeanine Grob from Burning Witches. All-in-all, I had a great time and will definitely be back.

    Great Music venue, 1st time attending, might go back for next band I enjoy. Well worth the drive,…read more Get there early to find parking

The first railway that came to the area was the Jacksonville, Tampa, and Key West Railway in 1886. The 29.5 mile route ran from Sanford, Sylvan Lake, Paola, Cassia, and Sorrento into Mount Dora and then to Tavares. In the 1880's train cargo was typically citrus, goods, from a local cannery, and fertilizer. Town founder David M. Simpson used the citrus to advertise his town by wrapping each piece in promotional materials promising a ree brochure of Mount Dora. The Old Mount Dora A. C. L. Railroad Station is a historic 35 x 93 foot Atlantic Coast Line Railroad depot in Mount Dora, Florida. It was originally built by ACL in 1914 and opening in 1915 at a cost of $8,223. It operated with two trains going in each direction. By 1922 there were four trains running passengers, freight, and mail. Passenger service continued to bring in tourists and visitors until it ended in 1950, and freight service on the line ended in 1973. On March 5, 1992, the station was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. The depot is now the home of the Mount Dora Chamber of Commerce who leases the building from the Seaboard Coast Line for $1 a year. The City of Mount Dora along with many community members and businesses restored the railroad station in 2014 in time for it's 100th anniversary with a grant from the Mount Dora Community Trust. Historical details were preserved like the sliding cargo doors and pine wood floors. The building is available for rent for private events like weddings, parties, and seminars.

    If you're strolling through Mount Dora and stumble upon the Van Gogh House, prepare to be genuinely…read moredelighted. This hidden gem is an absolute visual treat and one of the most creative outdoor art experiences I've seen in Central Florida. Every side of the house and surrounding walls is covered in vibrant, swirling murals inspired by Van Gogh's most iconic works--from Starry Night skies to bold sunflowers and rolling landscapes. It feels like you're walking straight into a living painting. The colors are incredibly vivid, and the detail is impressive from every angle. No two sections feel the same, which makes it even more fun to walk around and explore. It's peaceful, artistic, and surprisingly immersive for an open-air display. The contrast of classic fine art style painted onto a casual neighborhood setting makes it feel whimsical and unexpected in the best way. This spot is completely free to enjoy, perfect for photos, and a must-see if you love art, murals, or unique local attractions. It's one of those places that reminds you how much creativity can transform a space. The Van Gogh House is truly one of Mount Dora's coolest hidden treasures and absolutely worth the stop.

Hearing this was painted to help their autistic son identify the house if wandering off made my heart happy. It also offers both residents and tourists a beautiful mural and testament to artistic expression. Very glad I was able to see it and hope others are able to appreciate the beauty of the mural (renovated in 2025).

Alfred Rehbaum Sr. came to Mount Dora in 1915 from Cincinnati Ohio. He was hired at the age of 20 to run J.P. Donnelly's hardware store. Rehbaum eventually purchased the business designed in an Industrial Vernacular style and renamed it Rehbaum Hardware. The Rehbaum Hardware store was in operation from 1915 to 1984. The Rehbaum Warehouse stood on this site from 1927 until 2019. Well know for their warehouse the Rehbaum family was also respected their civic service. Alfred Rehbaum Sr. was one of eight founding members of the Mount Dora Development Company. He was elected school board trustee and became the president of the Chamber of Commerce in 1925. He also served several terms on the City Council. Rehbaum Hardware was a three generation family business. Alfred Rehbaum Jr. joined the business after returning home from WWII. His son Alfred "Sonny" Rehbaum III started working at the hardware store in 1950 at the age of 11. He was also very civic minded and served on the city council and was a founding member of the agency in charge of revitalizing downtown Mount Dora. After 44 years he sold the family business in 1994 and retired. He died the next year of a heart attack while changing a tire. There are now plans by the CFL Property Group to add retail space offices where the hardware store once stood. It's ironic the the groundwork Sonny Laius down during his lifetime to redevelop his beloved town was what led to the demolition of his former family business.

    Wow, what a blast. This was a suprise birthday gift given to my father and I by our spouses and…read morewhat a surprise it was. They arranged for the two of us to take "The Harris Chain of Lakes bar hop". We met our pilot "Paul" in Mount Dora. A very professional and knowledge guide with a Jimmy Buffet kinda quality that made us very comfortable from the start. We managed five stops on our tour staying long enough at each for a drink and a quick bite. If you think pulling up to a bar in a limo is cool you really need to try this. There was absolutely no pressure on us. We could stay as long as we wanted but we where more interested in the flying than the drinking. We didn't know how beautiful and interesting central Florida is from the air until now. Each jump resulted in a 15 to 20 minute flight to the next bar. Paul even threw a quick touch and go in on our final jump. This was a unforgettable trip that we will be talking about for a very long time. I definitely recommend them and may be back for another one of their tours in the near future . Cheers till then.

Rides start at $44 per person for a 10 minute ride around Lake Dora and go up to $219 per person to take three people on a 70 minute ride to the St. Johns River. We offer day trips and adventures to different restaurants and tourist attractions around the Central Florida area. We also provide Single Engine Training at the Private, Commercial and ATP level. ASES training can be provided in our Cessna 185, Cub or a Husky on amphib floats. Ask us about our AMAZING proposal ideas! We can customize any of our flights and would love to take you flying!
