Reviews
"Wonder setting, great info on ft Lauderdale history."
"Had a lovely visit today to the Historical Society Museum. The Museum is well organized and interesting. Don't miss the art studios on the 3rd floor!"
"Pricey, for a little bit of history. We could have paid an extra 5 bucks per person for a guided tour! Which is way more than I would pay anywhere. While I enjoyed looking around and the staff was nice, I felt the big price made it not as enjoyable as it could have been."
"Old Fort Lauderdale. We have an interesting little history that can be found in a few little historic buildings in this area. It is also a cool little place to come chill by the river. Could be a good date place to bring a pub sub and enjoy some fresh air."
"I had a great time learning about Old Fort Lauderdale. The tour guide was really friendly and very informative. We even struck a conversation, they gave us a discount because we were so interested. You could tell they love their job and treat you with great respect. Overall, you feel welcomed and it's not expensive to do the tour. It was a great experience to learn about the last colonized part of the US."
