About Historic Stranahan House Museum

Stranahan House, built in 1901 by Frank Stranahan and his wife Ivy, is the oldest surviving structure in Broward County. It has served as a trading post, post office, town hall, and family home. The wood-frame house has wide porches and views of the New River. After restoration by local historical and realtor groups, it opened as a museum in 1984. Visitors can take a self-guided audio tour or book a docent-led tour through the rooms.
