It has craftsman cottage details. The Rev. J. R. Cason moved to Florida in 1905. He founded the first Florida orphanage in Volusia County. He also served as a municipal judge and as the Chairman of the Palm Beach County Board of Public Instruction. Cason United Methodist Church is named after him. The Cason's son, J.R. Cason Jr. also came to Delray in 1905 and set up a medical practice while his brother in law James Love opened the communities first pharmacy in the post office. The city of Delray Beach and the Delray Beach Historical Society worked together to restore the cottage in 1988. The house is furnished in pieces that were either purchased or donated. The cottage is operated as a museum by the Delray Beach Historical Society. It is open November through April and tours are $5. Also located in the same area are two other historical homes that the Historical Society operates, a 1926 Florida bungalow and the Ethel Sterling Williams Archive & Learning Center in a 1908 farm house.

While in Fort Lauderdale for a girls weekend we chose to do an AirBnB experience through this…read morecompany. It was called Cruise the Intercoastal and even though the weather wasn't perfect we still had a fantastic time. Captain Dominick picked us up on time and as promised we could bring on our own drinks and snacks. His boat was clean and he has a great setup for all 5 of us to fit comfortably, we loved the bean bag chairs. The two hours was a perfect amount of time and he showed us some beautiful houses as we hung out and spent time together laughing, chatting, and listening to music. I would highly recommend for a more "intimate" experience and I think anyone would enjoy Captain Don as their host.

Marina Historic District sits on the intracoastal waterway. The boundary streets of the…read moreneighborhood are East Atlantic Blvd, Marine Way, SE 4th Ave, and SE 7th Ave. Marina was listed as a city historic district in 1988 and it was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 2, 2014. It is the only historic neighborhood in Delray Beach on the list. In order to qualify for the prestigious list a district must have homes older than 50 years and the area must be of historical significance. Being on the list can improve property values. Marina was the first planned neighborhood in Delray Beach. Homes are from 1924 to 1949. Most of the homes served as winter residences for people from the north and mid west during Florida's land boom years in the 1920's. People who moved to the neighborhood in the 1930's and 1940's made it their year round home. A signature of Marina are the shady streets that are within walking distance of the Delray City Marina. Architectural styles in the neighborhood include Mediterranean and Mission Revival, Monterey, Minimal Traditional, Frame Vernacular and Art Moderne. There are cottages cottages from the 1930s that were built by cartoonist Fontaine Fox. Gustav Maass, Henry Pope, and Samuel Ogren, Sr. who was the first resident architect in Delray Beach and who designed more 250 buildings and homes in town were some of the well known architects who had a hand in designing the neighborhood. The Spady museum in the historic West Settlers district offers a $35 Ride and Remember Bus Tour once a month that travels to all five of Delray Beach's historical districts, including Marina. The tour tells the story of the origins and development of Delray Beach and is a great resource for anyone who is looking to learn more about the area.

Nice place I'd go back to.

The Cornell Art Museum is located at Old School Square off Atlantic Ave. in downtown Delray Beach…read more They ask for a $5 donation. There were 2 floors of beautiful crafts & art. The large gift shop had a lot to choose from at different prices. We came for the Wine Down event happening right in front of the Delray Affair in April. Wine, beer & soft drinks were available for purchase & I got to unwind & explore the exhibits. The WineDown will be open Friday & Saturday from 12-6 PM and Sunday from 12-5 PM. Proceeds benefit the Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce & the Cornell Museum.

I have wanted to come here for ages, but the timing never seemed right. We were in Delray too…read moreearly or too late or on the wrong day. Last week, everything came together and we were finally able to stop by the museum after a nearby lunch. The museum is located on the corner of Atlantic Avenue and Swinton. We've passed by many time going east on the avenue. There is metered parking on the side streets. The museum is in the hundred year old plus Delray School House. We entered and were greeted by the docent/volunteer. She told us a little about the building's history and which classrooms were originally located where before the remodeling was done. She also told us that they have no permanent exhibits, and that all the art work in the building was for sale. If you were interested in buying something, you should inquire about the price of the piece in the museum store. The first floor was occupied with works by the American artist, Dorothy Gillespie. Although she was a painter, she also worked in many different media. She was well known for her creative, colorful metal works of art. One quote compares her level of metal craft and skill as equal to Chihuly and his glassworks. On the second floor -- yes, there is a big staircase, but we took the elevator from inside the gift shop/store -- are works by Chilean-born Gustavo Novoa. Approximately 30 paintings show colorful, luxurious jungle scenes with animals. The volunteer said his art reminded her of the lushness of Gauguin's paintings. On second floor, there is also an exhibit of mosaics from a Mexican school. They are portraits of famous people -- actors, singers, etc. You will recognize most of them. The tiny pieces are put together in intricate patterns to form the faces. In some of them, they incorporate other materials -- like a piece of jewelry as a broach, leather as clothing, etc. They are fascinating to view up close first and then step back to see the overall portrait. The exhibits rotate periodically. The museum entrance is free, but there is a suggested donation of $5 per person which we happily paid. I'm glad we finally got a chance to visit.

Our group met up with our tour guide Anthony at El Camino in Pineapple Grove. We were given a short introduction and sat down to our first tasting starting with Margaritas, Home Made Chips with Red and Green Salsa and Brisket Quesadillas. What a great way to start the fun. Next stop was a real surprise, an Asian Street Food location off the beaten path called Goodies. We sampled a delicious fruit tea and a new item to me JianBing, an Asian chicken burrito with a crunch which made the taste and texture exceptional. We actually watched the chef create this on a crepe maker! (see video) This is a great affordable lunch stop in Delray! Next stop, Beer Trade company very conveniently located next door to Goodies. Everyone was offered a beer of their choice from a HUGE selection in the cold case and on tap. It all started in Maryland so Old Bay was a great addition to their Honey Old Bay wings recipe marinated in what else BEER. They were crispy and sweet with quite a kick! We also sampled the risotto balls - yummy! We walked a few blocks to stop #4 Death by Pizza! The owner Koby greeted us and gave us some background of this Detroit style pizza company which has become a very popular location two blocks off Atlantic. What a treat! This business is take-out only so we stood outside and sampled a square thick crispy crust slice topped with amazing cheese and tomato sauce known as The Enemy! I can see why..i gained a pound in the sampling but boy was it worth it!! Sadly one last stop, (i was FULL but having way too much fun) @ Dekes Coffee. Nico, a young visionary, gave us a full explanation of the coffee making process as we sampled an affogato, espresso shot over a scoop of vanilla ice cream. If you like strong unsweetened coffee, this is your coffee shop. From coffee plant to green coffee beans to the roasting process, we saw it all. Unfortunately, I don't remember where the coffee beans originated in our espresso affogato, however Nico spoke of Ethiopian coffee as one they serve often. I would highly recommend this tour as a chance to sample some great independent restaurants in Delray. Our group seemed to be most impressed with the gems we found off the beaten path. Their tours and gift cards can be purchased online. #craftfoodtoursdelraybeach
