    • Mission

    The mission of the Historic Stranahan House Museum is to tell the story of the birth of our community through the lives of two extraordinary people and the homestead they created and to serve as an enduring legacy for historic preservation. Our purpose is to preserve Stranahan House as a museum, historic site, and social center for the community; to interpret Stranahan House through appropriate restorations, exhibitions, educational programs, and tours; and to promote Stranahan House so that residents and visitors of all ages are aware of their opportunity to learn about the history of the region, thus furthering the social, cultural and historic viability of the community. The House is funded through admissions, private donations, grants, and memberships. All donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law.

    About Us

    The Historic Stranahan House Museum is the oldest and most historically significant structure in Fort Lauderdale-the place where the city’s story truly begins. More than just a house, it embodies the legacy of a pioneering family and the founding of a community.

    Built in 1901 by Frank Stranahan, often regarded as Fort Lauderdale’s founding father, and his wife Ivy Cromartie Stranahan, the area’s first schoolteacher, the house is the oldest surviving building in Broward County. Over the years, it has served many purposes: a trading post, post office, community hub, and the Stranahan’s' home.

    For over a century, the Stranahan House has remained at the heart of Fort Lauderdale’s evolution, playing a vital role in shaping the city’s economic and social fabric.
