Stetson Mansion
“The House That Hats Built”
Florida’s Most Historic Home
Hidden and Unknown for 100 Years
Tripadvisor has named the Stetson Mansion the top rated landmark attraction in all of Florida. Florida's First Luxury Estate, built in 1886 for famed hat maker John B. Stetson, is the largest, grandest, and most historic home ever built in Florida before the 20th century. It was the first home in Florida designed and constructed electricity, steam heat, indoor plumbing and a call bell system.
This Gilded Age estate is still a private estate. It is not a museum or a home frozen in time, although it predates all other grand mansion museums in Florida. The home of Florida’s first snow bird and famous hat baron was hidden and lost for 100 years. It has recently been rescued, restored and updated in a timeless fashion. Tours are offered between February and September. The mansion is closed between Sept 16th and Nov 14th while we decorate for the holidays.
