Ormond Beach has been the vacation destination for the Mertz family.
For over 36 years, Mary Mertz has been bringing her family from Illinois to our city as a summer tradition. During their visits they always make sure to visit the Ormond Memorial Art Museum, which she considers one of the best local gems.
"When making our annual visit to Ormond Beach we always include a visit to Ormond Memorial Art Museum and Gardens," she said. "The lovely exhibits and lush, beautiful gardens are a much anticipated experience."
During this visit, they attended the museum's final "Dinner, Art & A Movie" for the summer and created a mobile, ate dinner from local food trucks and watched "Cinderella" in Rockefeller Gardens.
