About
Mount Dora is one of Florida's great visual surprises—a hilly lakeside town with Victorian commercial architecture and genuine seasonal temperature variation that earns its nickname 'New England in Florida.' The Florida Film Office promotes Mount Dora for its unusual combination: an authentic late-19th century downtown with a topography unique in the Florida flatlands, lakeside park settings, and a distinct absence of the coastal Florida visual clichés that follow productions around the state. The main street's Victorian brick buildings, the Lakeside Inn (Florida's oldest operating hotel), and the harbor district provide multiple period and contemporary options. The town's active arts community and film-friendly business culture make production logistics smoother than the typical Florida small-town experience.
