Just because you are on vacation doesn’t mean you can’t learn something educational. If you are a history buff traveling in
Fort Lauderdale, you should take an afternoon to attend the
Fort Lauderdale History Center. You and your fellow travelers can have fun and learn something educational about the area you are visiting. The
Fort Lauderdale History Center features many different historic buildings. You can explore the different homes in the area and feel like you’ve stepped back in time. The Philemon Nathaniel Bryan House was a boarding house during World War II. Nearby the Nathaniel Bryan House is the New River Inn. The Inn was in operation until 1955 and housed over 20 hotel rooms. There is also a building that housed an acetylene gas generator. This generator lit the New River Inn and the Philemon Bryan House. Visitors can appreciate the age and beautiful architecture of these buildings. Another building you should visit is the Hoch Heritage Center. Originally a post office, it is now the
Fort Lauderdale Historical Society building. It houses a large collection of research materials and archive information. You will surely enjoy the old photographs, manuscripts, and other town artifacts. If you want a memento of your visit, stop in the
Fort Lauderdale History Center’s store. You can buy historical books and other history inspired souvenirs. After enjoying learning something educational at the
