The Ormond Beach Historical Society hosted its 18th annual Tour of Homes on Saturday, Dec. 13, beginning at the Anderson-Price Memorial Building. President Mary Smith opened the building early in the morning as volunteers and local craft vendors prepared for the event’s 9:30 a.m. opening.
The Tour of Homes, conceived by Joyce Benedict and produced by more than 80 volunteers, is
one of Ormond Beach’s most cherished holiday traditions. The tour offers a rare opportunity to visit some of the Ormond Beach’s most beautiful properties, blending historic residences with striking modern homes.
This year’s featured locations included the Nathan Cobb Cottage, the Ormond Yacht Club, and Pilgrim’s Rest Cemetery, all opened to the community to celebrate the area’s rich history.
Participants checked in at the Anderson-Price Memorial Building to receive wristbands and tour booklets, with complimentary shuttle buses running throughout the day. Guests also enjoyed holiday refreshments and local craft vendors.
Proceeds from the Tour of Homes support OBHS educational programs and historic preservation efforts. OBHS is the only private nonprofit dedicated to preserving Ormond Beach’s historical and cultural resources and relies primarily on memberships, fundraising, and donations.
