What a wonderful tour - the best one hour tour I have ever been on! Bev was very informative, she really knew the history of the house as well as the area. You could tell she truly was invested in sharing the history.

Awesome piece of history nestled in downtown Ft. Lauderdale. Take a day and travel through some of the history that helped set the foundation for a great portion of south Florida. Also if you pay attention around there are little Jems of nature sprinkled all over.

The house is like a little jemstone in between the huge buildings around. It is well kept and the caretaker John has been there forever and he is the nicest guy ever. He was hired at the age of 17 and stayed there even after Ivy passed away. He wrote a little book about a cat that lives there and followed him around. You can buy the books and a little wooden car he carved and colored and numbered. The money goes to the Stranahan House Museum. If you love history and actually meet someone who has lived part of it , you will enjoy the tour.

Historic house in downtown ft. Lauderdale FL. This was a very nice tour with a very knowledgeable tour guide who really loves the house and history. Well maintained and nicely decorated for Christmas. If you like history then this is a must see.

If you love history, this is a must stop in Ft Lauderdale! Construction next door makes parking a challenge for the moment, but worth the walk from the street! Can use water taxi to arrive also! You won't believe this home survived in the middle of high rises on the river front! The owner had spunk to keep this home viable through the Great Depression then for years after and forethought knowing how important this place (real estate) was historical to Ft Lauderdale! Great tour guide told us the good, the hardships, the unbelievable about the Stranahans, especially Ivy, while we enjoyed the comfort of AC touring this interesting historical home. Open the door back into time! No elevator to second floor part of the tour and public bathroom requires a step up and not wheelchair accessible.

I'm a history buff and I love local history. The house is beautiful. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable but she wasn't very engaging so I found the tour to be pretty boring.

Beautiful historic house by the river and it’s history is lovely. Our tour guide John was ver sweet and knowledgeable. It’s a hidden gem in Ft. lauderdale in fact is Broward County oldest home. It’s a must to go place if you live in Florida.

Awesome Experience! It was like going back in history. The tour guides give you a wealth of information. Every child growing up in South Florida should go and learn where they came from and how Ft Lauderdale was created! I wish there was a tour at night too to give it like a haunted experience would be fun too! There is also a gift shop where you can buy souvenirs! Lots of fun! A must see!
