Stranahan House

Stranahan House

Stranahan House was built in 1901 and is considered to be the oldest surviving structure in Broward County. The house is open for tours and events, and visitors can learn about the history of Fort Lauderdale and the Stranahan family, who were early pioneers in the area.

Build by the founder of the city, the Stranahan House has served as a trading post, town hall, post office and bank. It has been restored to its 1913 condition as an example of Florida vernacular architecture in a tropical wilderness setting.

The museum also features exhibits on Seminole culture and the natural environment of the region.
