  The home & garden area’s were quite special, but the real treat was hearing the story of the Stanahan’s. They were truly ahead of their time. Our Guide Shelley was very knowledgeable & pleasant to listen too. If you have trouble climbing stairs or standing for an extended time you may want to skip this experience. Otherwise it was an enjoyable tour & history lesson!

  The house is spectacular IF you're interested in history. Ask the director what you'd like to know about the history of Fort Lauderdale and you will be rewarded with a nice plethora of information.
