Historic Stranahan House Museum Reviews | Rating 4.5 out of 5 stars (5 reviews)

Historic Stranahan House Museum is located in Fort Lauderdale, United States on 335 SE 6th Ave. Historic Stranahan House Museum is rated 4.5 out of 5 in the category historical place museum in United States. The STRANAHAN HOUSE was built in 1901 by Frank Stranahan, credited as Fort Lauderdale’s founding father, and his wife Ivy Cromartie Stranahan, the area’s first school teacher. It is the oldest surviving structure in Broward County and has served as a trading post, post office, town hall, and home to the Stranahans. The house is a wood-frame vernacular structure with wide porches and a stunning view of the New River. The Stranahan House has stood at the center of Fort Lauderdale’s growth since it was built and has played a significant role in the economic and social life of this community. A guided tour of Fort Lauderdale's HISTORIC STRANAHAN HOUSE MUSEUM is like a journey through time. It is a link to a time when Seminole Indians made friends with a young Ohioan who settled in the frontier town now known as Fort Lauderdale.

The Stranahan House is so beautiful and filled with more history than I imagined. It was lovely to learn all about the Stranahans. They were compassionate people with so many interests. Sophia, our tour guide, was spectacular. She was knowledgeable & engaging and pointed out all the original furniture. It was so much fun. She introduced us to John, the caretaker of 30 years, who knew Ivy, the former lady of the house. His stories transported you back in time. It was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend it.

Girlfriend and I absolutely loved this tour! Highly recommend doing the tour because they’re able to explain everything in details. Fun experience and the student discount helped us save!

The house tour was very interesting and our tour guide was very sweet and gave a great tour. After our tour we met John in the garden on the way out and he has so much knowledge about the house and Fort Lauderdale in general! He maintains the house and knew some of the family that lived there! We told him he should write a book... such an amazing guy!

Beautiful Historical Home on The River downtown Ft Lauderdale, Florida just off Las Olas Blvd. Well worth the visit. Enjoy the beauty of Las Olas and downtown Ft. Lauderdale.
