10 Things You Must Do in Mount Dora, Florida

Just over a half-hour drive northwest of Orlando is a quaint New England-style village that’s a vacation destination all on its own.

Located on a plateau more than 180 feet above sea level, the town of Mount Dora dates back to the middle of the 19th century. That’s when the community became a popular retreat for hunters, boaters and fishermen.

Train service was established in 1887. Primarily used to transport citrus, the rail line also brought visitors to town.

And folks have been coming to this waterfront community ever since. Mount Dora is known for its historic district with locally-owned shops and restaurants, natural areas and a vibrant arts scene with several nationally-acclaimed festivals held here each year.

This video showcases 10 things you must do when you’re in Mount Dora.
