Historic Stranahan House Museum — Attraction in Fort Lauderdale

This place is a hidden treasure. I would highly recommend having any type of event here or even just popping by for a tour to better understand old Fort Lauderdale. A very unique, and historical home that shows and explains a lot of history of Fort Lauderdale. We had the pleasure of having my wedding reception at Stranahan House. It was beautiful, unique and truly perfect for my husband and I. Being born and raised in Fort Lauderdale, I loved that it was the oldest house in Broward county. We loved the elegance, historical details throughout the property. During our wedding, they left the home to tour during the first hour. It was great to be able to have that for our guests.This home is a beautiful blank canvas that can be designed into any type of atmosphere for your event.

Lindsey, the event manager was very sweet and easy to work with. She was super accommodating to everything that we had come up with and made everything possible for us. The venue not only having the house and the surrounded area but also the massive courtyard next to it accommodating up...

Went to the Christmas boat parade and we were herded around like cattle. Told to be there at 7:15 and were not allowed into the house until 8:00 PM, the time the boat was suppose to leave.

Before we entered the house and after we entered the house we were forced to listen to endless chatter about the Stranahan family and then were corralled from room to room to listen to the Stranahan family legacy. When I faded back to take pictures I was told to keep up with the group because there was another group behind us and we had to rush because the boat was past due from leaving. There was a nasty little girl who watched me like a hawk to keep me moving and was making snide remarks every time I stopped to take a picture. I took friends who were visiting from Sweden and was embarrassed by the lack of class and quality of this trip. It was all about money. You will not like the way you are treated. Do not go for...

It was a nice your with lots of History I wish we'd gotten the same tour guide that a lady and her husband had told us about..and that they gave her a tour and told her about the ghosts in the house and stuff like that my kids would have loved that.. the guy we got said they only do that on Halloween we're not from here so of course we're not going to be here on Halloween and then we ran into a guy who actually new mrs. Stranahan before she passed and he told us some information he was very interesting to listen to and showed us the old Bell that you had to Ring to get the ferry across the river it's worth a stop to get the history unless you have a lot of kids that don't want to do that LOL.. what surprises me is that Fort Lauderdale really isn't that old and the people that were around at the beginning have only just passed away in the last few...
