Stetson Mansion

The Stetson Mansion is Florida's first luxury home and was built in 1886 by famed hat maker and philanthropist John B. Stetson. The estate was the winter retreat of the Stetson's who were known for hosting magnificent parties and gatherings for some of the country's most elite and influential citizens of the "Gilded" era. 

Now for the first time in over 100 years it is with great pleasure that we can once again open this private estate to host  grand wedding receptions, one of a kind parties, events, corporate  functions and lectures for those who want to create memories of a lifetime.  A meticulous three year restoration now affords guests not only a spectacular venue for any occasion but also an opportunity to tour this 10,000 square foot historic national landmark property.
