The Casements
The winter residence of oil tycoon John D. Rockefeller in his later years, now a cultural center. Admission is free, and visitors can learn about the history of Ormond Beach.
The Casements got its name from its many casement windows. From 1918, it was John D. Rockefeller's winter residence. He spent his last roughly twenty winters here, until his death in 1937. The City of Ormond Beach now manages it as a cultural center. Its rooms display Rockefeller's personal belongings and local history, and the nearby Halifax Riverfront Park is good for a stroll. Admission is generally free, though paid guided tours are also available. It is closed on Sundays.
