| Augustus C. Freeman, city tax collector, councilman, mayor, sheriff and county commissioner, built this two story Victorian house. The home has a spacious wrap around porch featuring Queen Anne trim, a veranda and a third story tower. When it was slated for demolition in 1985, the Medical Center Foundation coordinated a community effort to relocate and restore it.
Currently the A.C. Freeman House is owned by the City of Punta Gorda and is home to a Museum, operated by the Punta Gorda Historical Society, and offices for the Charlotte County Chamber of Commerce.
The house is open to the public Monday-Friday, 10am-4pm. Guided tours are offered Monday and Thursday only from 11am-3pm.
