We had a wonderful experience today. Milton was welcoming and super friendly. Dave was a great guide and very knowledgeable. I don’t know the other gentleman’s name but he was super kind from start to finish. I met him in the street and he was quick to inform me of parking and where to check in. The. At the end he didn’t want us to go. Offered us to come back tomorrow. He really didn’t want us to rush out even though it was closing time. Great staff and so happy there’s a piece of history tucked away in this bustling city!!! Thank you all.

You will visit the Pioneer House Museum, and the 1899 Replica Schoolhouse Museum, before returning to view the Seminole culture, Maritime history and pioneer exhibits in the main museum. All three museums are located on the picturesque banks of the New River right in the heart of downtown Fort Lauderdale.

We have a wonderful experience at the History Fort Lauderdale museum. The tour with Daniel was fantastic. He was so knowledgeable about the history of the area, and the founding families. He was also delightful to talk with and we had a lovely time. I would highly recommend a visit to this museum if you're in the fort Lauderdale area. Also the Riverwalk which is right nearby was beautiful and a nice place to stroll.
