Orman House Historic State Park is a Florida state park that preserves the historic Orman House, a gorgeous Antebellum home constructed in 1838 by cotton merchant and businessman Thomas Orman. The home showcases lovely Federal and Greek Revival design elements and is located along the banks of the beautiful Apalachicola River along the city's 5th Street. Visitors can tour the home for a nominal fee as part of guided tours Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays during the morning and afternoon hours. Lovely original design elements are preserved throughout the house, including wooden mantelpieces, heart pine floorboards, and molded plaster cornices. At the adjacent Chapman Botanical Gardens, named in honor of Dr. Alvin Chapman, visitors can peruse a butterfly garden or view the Three Soldiers Detail replica Vietnam memorial statue. Each year, the home hosts the Apalachicola Historic Tour of Homes and a November Historic Christmas event.
