Pseudo-Italian estate built by James Deering, of the International Harvester fortune. Includes a main house filled with art and furnishings and ten acres of gardens on Biscayne Bay. $25 adults, $10 children 6-12. Admission is free for children 5 years of age or younger. Must purchase tickets online. While this is described as something of an art museum, this is much more one of those museums that just preserved a really rich guy's house the way it was when he died, including the art with the occasional traveling exhibit.

One of the oldest homes in Dade County, built in 1891 on the shore of Biscayne Bay. Offers a glimpse of Old Florida during The Era of the Bay. Situated on the shore of Biscayne Bay, this was the home of Ralph Middleton Munroe, one of Coconut Grove´s most charming and influential pioneers. Today, the estate is one of the last remnants of the once vast Miami Hammock, the term for the wooded area that grew around the Miami river valley. Two buildings remain, the main house and the boathouse, with attached boat launch. Enjoy sitting in the rocking chairs on the spacious porch used as a gathering place or on a bench under a tree for solitude. The forest surrounding the home is hardwood hammock and is the last of its kind in the area. The unique architecture includes period furniture and wide porches that afford magnificent views.
