DeLand Historic District · Volusia County Civic History
DeLand's historic downtown district retains a well-preserved core of early-20th-century commercial and civic buildings. The Volusia County Courthouse is a restored historic landmark that has served the county's judicial functions for decades. The Athens Theatre, a downtown performance venue, dates to the early 20th century. The Historic Artisan Downtown Hotel occupies a historic hotel building on S Woodland Blvd.
US Ghost Adventures operates its 'Dreaded Dead of DeLand' program as a nightly, 1-hour walking tour meeting outside the Artisan Downtown Hotel at 215 S Woodland Blvd, covering these three downtown landmarks.

According to the operator's marketing, the Volusia County Courthouse is associated with a spirit the operator names as Lucy Furman, described as the wife of a man executed after the building's history of criminal sentencing. The Artisan Downtown Hotel is framed as haunted by shadow figures the operator ties to unspecified 'conflicts' in the building's past. The Athens Theatre is described by the operator as home to residual apparitions of past performers and stagehands.
All of this is the tour operator's own marketing and narrative material, not documented history verified independently for this listing; the named individual is attributed to the operator's account only and is not independently sourced. It is included here as a description of what the tour covers, not as an endorsement of any specific claim.
