Howey-In-The-Hills can be explored through specific questions: Are you interested in local history, music, public access to a lake, or the protection of native habitats? The points of interest differ considerably, ranging from Howey Mansion to Griffin Park and Sara Maude Mason Nature Preserve.

Local History and Music at Howey Mansion

Howey Mansion was built in 1925 by community founder William J. Howey. Its construction date and connection to the founder provide a concrete link to local history: you can focus your interest in the history of the town on a specific named building. The Howey Music Series also holds concerts at the mansion, including both classical and jazz concerts. This makes the site a place that combines a historical connection with two distinct musical styles.

There are clear steps to plan a tour of Howey Mansion: reservations are required for all tours and must be booked online. A guided tour lasts about one hour and 15 minutes. Factor this into your day’s plans and check the latest information before your visit, as schedules may change. You should also check concert dates in advance if you want to include the Howey Music Series in your travel plans.

The Lake and Protected Nature

Griffin Park is located on scenic Little Lake Harris. The town’s boat ramp provides public access to the lake. The lake is therefore the park’s defining feature if you want to consider public access to the water when choosing what to do.

Sara Maude Mason Nature Preserve has a different focus: it protects a natural area and features a scenic boardwalk. Visitors can experience native habitats and wildlife there. The preserve puts the natural setting itself at the center, while Griffin Park is defined by its lakeside location and access via the boat ramp. This distinction can help you choose between the two natural areas based on your interests.
