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. While waiting, I asked twice if we would be able to take pictures and not be rushed. Said yes and both were lies. 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 1/2 the price

We were surprised to find this historical house so captivating but the place was lovely and the tour guide, though quite young, seemed to make history come alive here We were mesmorized by the facts pertaining to the couple that befriended the Seminoles. Never having heard of them before, we came away with a determination to visit more historic sites when in cities that are known for its outdoor amusements primarily. No one was on the tour but us and they took so much time with us. I would highly recommend it. The wrap around porch is wonderful.

Definitely worth a visit. Look forward to spending an hour here, maybe after lunch. The guided tour tells a captivating story that will satisfy your craving for local history. Call ahead to make sure they arent closed for a private event. Wear comfy shoes, and be prepared to go up and down the staircases. Buy something from the gift shop and help support this non-profit organization.

The Stranahan house was an amazing place to visit! The tour guides knew SO MUCH about the place! The founding of Fort Lauderdale couldnt be any more interesting! The tour ran over, as our guide took the time to give us little details and stories that only they knew about. We were urged to take pictures and to enjoy the history! Take a tour of this great place!!!

If you are interested in the history of Fort Lauderdale, this is definitely a great place to visit. It is beautifully restored and showcases many original items. The tour guides are very friendly and knowledgeable. It also offers a great view of the river. Just off of Las Olas Blvd, so you can go to dinner and shop afterwards!

Loved learning about a preserved piece of history from the area. Tour guide Tommy excellent, enthusiastic, knowledgeable. Made the tour interesting and fun. Met John in the gift shop who had met Mrs. Stranahan on several occasions-- made history come alive even more. Well worth the time to visit and step back in time.

The Tour was full and the Property caretaker and the Groundskeeper of 45 years and Stranahan Family friend gave us a VIP personal Backstage tour with all the Juicy details and stories! Awesome! Couldnt have asked for a better tour! #StranahanHouse #FtLauderdale #History #Florida

Wasted my time finding this place only to find it closed for a private event. No sign out front saying it was closed. Had to wander into some office and was rudely told that I missed the last tour by 10 minutes.

Nice place to spend an hour getting to know Fort Lauderdale history. Be sure to show up at tour times, its the only way to get in to the house.

Incredible venue for a waterfront wedding. Great tent, great views. The mens bathroom needs some work, but its serviceable.

Ramona Crawford

Says it is open til 4 but was closed. They need to be clearer on the fact they randomly shut down for weddings etc.

Greg Fasig
