All week long the City of Maitland celebrates Founder’s Week. The celebrating ends with a bang, a party at beautiful Lake Lily Park. Food and fun go on all day, with the night bringing a free movie in the park – The Sandlot. Bring your chairs or blanket and stroll from Thurston House bed & breakfast to this once a year happening….fun for all! Lots more to do in the area so make a weekend of it.
Lake Lily
And you thought there wasn’t any covered bridges in Florida. Maitland boasts this covered bridge, built in 1958 but covered in 1988 for a special city celebration. From the surrounding large expanse of green land, the majestic vine covering, and the bubbling of Nina Canal underneath…you could be in New England! This bridge is just minutes from Thurston House bed & breakfast, and is located on Old Horatio Avenue.
