ORMOND BEACH HISTORICAL SOCIETY INC

The Ormond Beach Historical Society is the only private, nonprofit organization working to preserve and share the rich history of Ormond Beach.

We have preserved and promoted some of the most significant historical sites and structures in Ormond Beach, including the Indian Burial Mound (c. 800) located on South Beach Street across from Ames Park, the Pilgrim’s Rest Primitive Baptist Church (c. 1879) in Bailey Riverbridge Gardens Park, the Hotel Ormond Cupola (c. 1887) in Fortunato Park, the Anderson-Price Memorial Building (c. 1915) at 42 North Beach Street, the Three Chimneys Sugar Mill Ruins (c. 1768) at 715 West Granada Boulevard and the WW II Watchtower (c.1942), on Highway A1A, 4.3 miles north of Granada Boulevard.

The society administers the Ormond Beach Welcome Center at the MacDonald House, 38 East Granada Boulevard. Stop by to see our historical DVDs and photos, local event schedules and brochures and browse our gift shop.

The Ormond Beach Historical Society furthers its mission by offering tours, lectures, programs, displays, and publications detailing Ormond Beach’s and Florida’s history.
