Nowadays, there’s no shortage of beautiful boats, river tours, and water taxis traveling along the New River. During the Stranahans’ early days, however, transportation on the water looked quite different!

Take a look at this historic photograph and compare the vessels of the past to those we see today. While much has changed over the years, the New River remains at the heart of Fort Lauderdale’s story!

What a throwback! Before its restoration in the 1980s, the Historic Stranahan House operated as a restaraunt called the Pioneer House. Here's a look at some footage of what that looked like!

A glimpse into the past ✨

In 1987, the Historic Stranahan House Museum was featured on the cover of *The Best: Gold Coast Fashion & Lifestyle* in a beautifully illustrated tribute to Fort Lauderdale’s oldest surviving home. Framed by the New River and lush old Florida landscape, this artwork captures the timeless beauty and history of the Stranahan House during its early restoration era.
