Winter Park, Florida


On Tuesday, Eric and I started heading north.  We stopped in Winter Park just north of Orlando.  It is a very pretty community.  We toured the Morse Museum which has the largest collection of Louis Comfort Tiffany glass and art in the world.  It was pretty incredible.  They had recreated portions of Tiffany's home with some of the glass and decorative items that he had designed displayed in it.  They had even rebuilt and installed all the glass, alter, baptistry and columns for a chapel that Tiffany had built for the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago.  This beautiful chapel had only been partially on display until it was reassembled and installed in this museum in the 1990's.  It is incredibly beautiful.
