Historic Sites in Hollywood

"The Barnacle Historic State Park is home to the oldest house in Miami|© William Silver / Shutterstock. Also in Coconut Grove, this fairly small park tops our list for having the oldest house in its original location in Miami. Visitors can tour the 1891 home, The Barnacle, to learn about the frontier life during the “Era of the Bay” at a time when all travel to the city was done by boat."

"The Barnacle Historic State Park offers an opportunity to relax in a serene atmosphere. Also, there are a few beautiful boutiques (The Showroom, First Flight Out, Nikki's Beachouse Boutique) on Commodore Plaza -beach style clothes, cosy decoration, design accessories. Fringed by trees and cafés with terraces, this district has a cool Caribbean vibe going on."

"At this 5-acre gem in Coconut Grove is the oldest home in its original location in Miami-Dade County (1891), which once housed Ralph Middleton Munroe, an American yacht designer. You'll also see plenty of mesmerizing Spanish moss. A post shared by @lizz_ax3 on Feb 26, 2017 at 2:42pm PST"

"A mere 21 years after Miami was officially incorporated as a city, the mission-style "coral rock" building of the Plymouth Congregational Church was constructed in Miami's oldest neighborhood, Coconut Grove."

"As I stand outside and walk into this beautiful old church feelings coming to mind are; beauty, old, history, planning, stories, Spanish, love, unique,… read more ». Rating: 5 based on 5 reviews"

"Fort Lauderdale has a rich history which may be overshadowed by the more modern an sophisticated metro area that it has become. Old Fort Lauderdale Village and Museum chronicles the city's history from the early Seminole era to World War II. It also offers information about the city's historic district and a chronology of its development. Other exhibits feature scale models of historic structures, including a recreation of a Seminole village complete with arts and crafts."

"The building opened in 1925 and became a US National Historic Landmark in 2008.* It’s an impressive landmark. It first started as headquarters for the newspaper Miami News. It now is a contemporary art museum."

"Spanish missionaries and treasure seekers first explored the Florida coast as far back as the 17th century, and the Spanish Monastery in North Miami Beach is a fascinating bit of local and international history that dates back centuries before that when it was originally constructed in Spain. Inhabited by monks for nearly seven centuries, in the early 1920s, it was bought by American newspaper mogul William Randolph Hearst, disassembled, shipped to Florida, and reassembled on its current site. It has been open to the public since the mid-’60s, and for those who don’t mind spending a few extra bucks, the best way to experience it is by guided tour."

"Fort Lauderdale's rich history for African-Americans is presented in this inspiring museum. Many of the honors that are due to pioneers in the African-American community in Broward County are not recorded, but it is here through exhibits and lectures and special events that visitors and locals can learn more of this interesting and exciting chapter of local history. Built in 1924, this was the region's lone African-American school for children during segregation."

"Flavors of Jamaica come through in the homemade dairy and vegan old-fashioned ice cream of Localicious Caribbean Ice Cream. With treats like rum raisin ice cream, Dragon Stout ice cream, grapenut ice cream, and watermelon ice cream, the flavors are a bit more grown-up than with other ice cream parlors. However, that doesn't mean kids won't like this ice cream because there are also flavors like cotton candy and mango to satisfy their taste buds as well."

"Things to do Event spaces Wynwood. Stationed in the 1-800-Lucky courtyard, this small truck doles out those whimsical, fish-shaped ice cream cones that flooded your Instagram feed two summers ago. While not everything you see on the internet tastes good, these cones do."

"The Capital Grille is one of the most elegant restaurants in Fort Lauderdale, serving extraordinary classic American fare made from exceptional ingredients, resulting artfully prepared cuisine. You can’t go wrong with amazing dishes like the Kona Crusted Wagyu Burger with Shalot Mayo, Seared Tenderloin with Butter Poached Lobster Tail, or the Double-Cut Lamb Rib Chops. Indulge in their impressive and extensive wine list or choose something from the full bar."

"From the moment you step inside, the experience is one of comfortable elegance. Take your pick among the more than 350 world-class wines awaiting you at The Capital Grille, hailing from nearly every wine-growing region on Earth. The restaurant's acclaimed dry aged steaks and fresh seafood deserve nothing less than an award-winning wine list."

"The setting for Morgans Restaurant, an old house with a covered porch where guests can sit and chat as they enjoy their food and coffee, lends a decidedly homey feel to this restaurant, which also serves homestyle comfort classics to add to the overall ambience. At Morgans, breakfast and brunch options include homemade sticky buns, brioche French toast, house-cured salmon plates, omelets, chocolate-dipped waffles, English breakfast, and French toast stuffed with mascarpone and raspberries. They also serve delicious coffee, fruit and vegetable juices, fresh smoothies, and pitchers of Bellini, sangria, mimosa, or Kir Royale."

"For over a decade, Morgans has developed a loyal local following driven mostly by word-of-mouth, and it's not hard to see why; it's a spot that offers a staggering assortment of brunch goodies (think everything from Boursin egg sandwiches, to mascarpone-and-raspberry-stuffed French toast) in a seriously cute 1930's house that the owners have outfitted with mod furnishings, and polished concrete floors. Its also got a huge wrap-around porch with extra seating and communal tables that practically begs for a brunch spread. Courtesy Mandarin Oriental, Miami"

"I once waited an hour in line to try Morgan’s weekend brunch and it is one of the best decisions I have ever made. French toast doused in cinnamon butter and maple syrup, waffle and fried chicken sandwiches, and not to mention the melt-in-your mouth cookies will have you begging to come back."
