    Fort Lauderdale Historical Society

    Discover a Florida of colonial villas and bougainvillea, rather than Mickey Mouse and Miami, at this organization, which maintains the Hoch Heritage Center, a historic research facility; the century-old New River Inn, Philemon Bryan House and King-Cromartie House, open for tours; and the 1899 Replica Schoolhouse. The museum mounts exhibits on Fort Lauderdale and Broward County history and Seminole folk art and also offers guided walking tours of historic downtown. Call for details.
