Granted, Fort Lauderdale doesn’t exactly ooze history, but it’s here if you look for it. A case in point is the city’s oldest remaining edifice, tucked away alongside downtown’s New River. It dates back to 1901, when the eponymous Frank Stranahan built it as a trading post when this was still a frontier settlement and Seminole Indians would pull up in dugout canoes. It’s been a post office, town hall, and general store, and now serves as a worthwhile little museum of South Florida pioneer life, containing turn-of-the-20th-century furnishings and historical photos of the area. Note: Self-guided tours are not allowed, and the house usually offers one tour a day. Tours last about an hour.
