It's amazing to realize that it was on this very spot that Fort Lauderdale began when the first permanent resident (Frank Stranahan) created his trading post here. To see the house - now a museum - surrounded by tall modern buildings is fantastic.
There are tours every afternoon and you can tell that the people who work there do so...

The host of the Stranahan House and the ghost tour are so sweet and knowledgable. Really enjoyed the tour of the oldest house in Ft Lauderdale and the history of the place and area. The boat trip down the causeway at night was lovely and the captain was full of history & recent events. Really an enjoyable way to spent...

If you like historical houses, don't miss this. It's not very big, but it's very well kept and interesting.

My wife and I attended a charitable fund raising event here around the Christmas holiday season. The decorations were absolutely outstanding. The view from the back of the house, of the fort Lauderdale waterways, were just beautiful. How we managed to not come here after moving to South Florida 23 years ago was our loss.
