Introduction
Mount Dora - A City with Small-Town Charm and Beauty

To say that Mount Dora is picturesque may be an understatement. Ancient oaks and rolling hills provide the backdrop to beautifully restored buildings where visitors enjoy antique shops, galleries, specialty stores and quaint inns. The Donnelly House and Lakeside Inn are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and represent the town’s commitment to historical preservation.

Mount Dora annually attracts thousands of visitors to the Mount Dora Arts and Crafts Festival, plus antique boat and car shows and sailing regattas. The Mount Dora Center for the Arts and performances by the Ice House Players are just part of the town’s cultural offerings. With its small-town charm and beauty, it’s no surprise that Mount Dora was recently named by Money magazine as one of the three best places in the country to retire.
