Victorian Christmas Tours:
Additionally, the Historic Stranahan House Museum is hosting Victorian Christmas Tours Dec. 16 through Dec. 20, from 5 to 8 p.m. each evening. The community is invited to step back in time to the Victorian era while walking through the beautifully decorated Stranahan House Museum. Attendees will learn how holiday traditions started, how the pioneers of Fort Lauderdale celebrated the season, and shop for everyone on their Christmas list in the gift shop. Tours are $30 per person or $25 for members.
Tours during Victorian Christmas are approximately 40 minutes long. New tours start every 10 minutes for groups of six or fewer. Festive and knowledgeable docents will guide each tour. There will be a mixture of information shared by the tour guides and signage to read, all while classic Christmas songs are played on a 1900s piano. Guests are encouraged to take the Water Taxi’s Holiday Lights Tour before or after their tour through Stranahan House.
