Review:

Founded in 1876, the city of DeLand is fondly known as the "Athens of Florida", a nickname it received because of its rich history and culture as well as its pioneering spirit. It's the proud home of the elegant Stetson University, but tourists are more likely to enjoy visiting the Stetson Mansion estate, browsing the exhibits in the Museum of Art - DeLand, and exploring the city's downtown streets. If you want to spend some time outside, you can take a boat ride out to Hontoon Island or rent a canoe and go for a paddle in the Lake Woodruff National Wildlife Refuge.
