Welcome to the Tour!
Welcome to The Historic Stranahan House Museum. The Stranahan House, which is now called the Historic Stranahan House Museum, was once home to the founding father of Fort Lauderdale Frank Stranahan and his wife Ivy Cromartie Stranahan. Moreover, built in 1901, it is the oldest surviving structure in the area, which additionally served as a town hall, post office, and trading post. For today, the Stranahan House represents a historic house museum that was first opened to the public in 1984, with the aim to tell the story of Fort Lauderdale and people living there years ago. Moreover, it is just a perfect place to enjoy authentic Victorian furniture and fine decorative pieces preserved to the present day. Enjoy this virtual tour!
