Excellent location to learn about Redland (Detroit / Florida City) & Homestead history. You can visit several times or stay for several hours each time, learning something new, and hopefully walking away with a deep appreciation for this area and the importance
Of the hard Agricultural work that our early pioneers performed to pave the way.
Staff easy to work with. Many possibilities for events.
My original post was from 2 years ago. It was a 5 star. Although I do think the location in back of the museum has many great potentials for events, it saddens me to see it is not properly being cleaned or maintained. Floors were disgustingly dirty. The bathrooms did not have napkins and the stool doors were practically falling off. The dust was thick and was falling down from the ceiling. There were nails, staples, clips, and all kinds of other adhering objects on the wall. For a location with rich history, they need to do a better job at preserving this treasure.
When I first saw the Florida Pioneer Museum on Google maps, I had a feeling that this is going to be the historic place in Florida. I explored it upstairs and downstairs. Even the guide had shown me and my parents the Phonograph as it played great. Plus, the dining room and kitchen was a classic scene even the area upstairs feels nostalgic. There's even a little gift shop to shop for Books, DVDs, Postcards, Magnets and even Flagler Museum Souvenirs. I am happy that it is part of South Florida's attractions. When I want more DVDs to buy there, I will be happy to come visit again.
