With
the glow of the first street lights in 1887, the city
of DeLand enjoyed the first electrical system in the
state of Florida. This exhibit is owned and furnished
by Bill and Jo Dreggors and
is one of only a very few electrical museums in the
country.
Among
the very rare artifacts are vintage photos depicting
the early history of the area's ice & electric business
as well as a variety of early tools, equipment and appliances.
Also displayed is an outstanding collection of insulators.
Known once as the "jewels of the wires," these
insulators range from every shape and size to every
color of the rainbow.
