Fort Lauderdale History Center

New River Inn

The Fort Lauderdale History Center is a museum complex operated by the Fort Lauderdale Historical Society that is located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The complex includes the 1905 New River Inn, a former hotel which now houses the main museum of local history. In addition to dioramas, artifacts, displays and photographs, the museum features one room decorated to appear as a typical hotel room of 1908.

The 1907 King-Cromartie House has been furnished as a historic house museum of 1915, and is open by guided tour. The 1899 Replica School House is also open by tour, and was originally constructed in the 1970s as an American Bicentennial project.[1]

The Fort Lauderdale Historical Society also maintains a public research library and archives of the history of Greater Fort Lauderdale.

The museum was formerly known as the Old Fort Lauderdale Village and Museum.
