Visiting Port Orange

Take a moment to settle into one of the hotels near Port Orange, FL. Then rent one of our Port Orange rental cars and make your way through Volusia County with the windows down to enjoy that free-flowing salt air. Park at the Sugar Mill Botanical Gardens, a former plantation that was destroyed by Native Americans during the Second Seminole War. The 19th-century sugar mill ruins are still visible today if you look among the tangle of Floridian verdure. Take a moment, and allow your surroundings to transport you back to a time when the United States of America was yet to be established and the Seminole still moved freely across the landscape. Time races on, politics and cultural contexts shift dramatically, and yet it doesn't feel as if 1836, the year of the mill's destruction, is so very far in the past while wandering amid the old stone pillars.

It all happened here.
