## About

Step back in time to the turn of the 20th century at Fort Lauderdale's oldest surviving home, the Historic Stranahan House Museum along the New River. Built in 1901 by pioneer Frank Stranahan and Broward County's first schoolteacher Ivy Cromartie Stranahan, the two-story pine home is dressed in authentic period Victorian Christmas elegance, festooned with fresh Florida pine garland, antique blown-glass ornaments, red velvet bows, and warm candle lanterns.

Costumed docents lead intimate 40-minute guided family tours, recounting fascinating pioneer holiday traditions and native Seminole trade lore. Guests are treated to warm spiced cider, festive baked sugar cookies, and live caroling out on the breezy wraparound riverfront verandas. The museum is located directly on Fort Lauderdale's scenic Riverwalk promenade, offering flat, stroller-friendly access with nearby riverfront dining options.
