Mount Dora
Print-friendly version of this page (without
menus and advertisements)
Mount
Dora, Florida
(a
QuietTown)
Floridians
have their own ideas about mountains. The highest point in
Florida, Britton Hill, is 345 feet above sea level. So, at
184 feet, Mount Dora is nothing to scoff at. But leave your
snow skis at home and think antiques and art festivals. We have not yet visited
Mount Dora, but it has been described as "pretty."
It is on a lake, Lake Dora, and is on an early railroad
route. It has several nice features (see below) and is close to
Orlando. Thanks,
Johanne, for the tip. Tell us what you think about Mount
Dora. Better yet, send pictures. Email

Why
shop online?
Prices
and selection
are often better
from these Web
sites than in your
neighborhood stores. Many
of them offer
free packing and
shipping to
your
door or to your
gift recipient. So,
you can save
time, gas, and
money. Merchant
sites must
meet high security
standards to
advertise
on QuaintPlaces.com.

Did
you know?
When
you place an
order from these
merchants, they
contribute a small
commission to QuaintPlaces.com. These
commissions
do not increase
the cost of your
purchases. Only
purchases
made within a few
days
after
your
initial "click" to
their sites generate
commissions for us.
(Please do not delete your cookies.)
These
commissions, plus sales of our
own photos and cards, are
necessary
to help defray the
cost of maintaining QuaintPlaces.com,
which currently
operates at a loss.
Your
purchases will
help us provide
more
information
and photos about
quaint places.
