Placed on the National Historic Register in 1991, the refurbished museum houses the Yoruba Heritage Gallery, Cycle of Life Gallery, an interactive gallery for children, a library resource room and the Dillard Heritage Room, showcasing a recreated 1920s classroom and home-life environments. Guided and self-guided tours are offered, as well as snake and alligator shows. Another must-see is the Stranahan House, formerly a trading post for the Seminoles, then the family home of founder Frank Stranahan, now maintained as a historical museum. The two-story riverside house, located on Las Olas Boulevard in downtown Fort Lauderdale, was built of Dade County pine and is furnished with period antiques. The Young at Art children's museum in Davie recognizes this by offering workshops, classes and special events for little masterminds.
Kids can learn computer art, build sculptures and discover new talents through hands-on activities.
