The nonprofit Heritage Preservation Trust was formed in 2006 and acquired Lilian Place in 2009.

This beautiful Victorian is the original home of one of the founding families of Daytona. 

Lilian Place is now a wonderful 1884 Victorian Museum open for tours.

In 2012, the Trust acquired the 1905 Historic Hotchkiss House original home of

Eli Hotchkiss "the Stapler King" and is now the Lilian Place Heritage Center cultural event site.

Both historic properties were saved through

Volusia County ECHO grants with partial funding from Volusia County Cultural grants.

These are two of the oldest and finest examples

of late nineteenth century architecture

on Daytona beachside.

Step into the past for a tour of the oldest grand home on Daytona beachside

or join us for a little social time with friends at an

Afternoon Tea, Wind-down Wednesday History Social,

Dining with the Spirits at Lilian Place or Paranormal Investigations

or a special event!
