In 1887, Leander Farnsworth, a shoe merchant from Detroit, Michigan purchased the property. It remained in his family until the 1930's. In 1992, the property was sold and made into a Bed & Breakfast. It has remained a Historical B & B ever since. There have been four owners during the period of 1992 to 2018. The present owners have taken great pride in this Historic Mt. Dora property and they have restored it to its present condition. As a result, the reputation of the Farnsworth House and its revenue stream have grown exponentially....Mt. Dora continues to thrive and has received many awards and national accolades to include "The Best Small Town in Florida".
