Fort Lauderdale Historical Society

History The City of Fort Lauderdale, formerly known as the Fort Lauderdale Historical Society, believes that a sense of history is essential to understanding human experience. As a result, the City of Fort Lauderdale collects, preserves, and shares material from our community's past so that present and future generations can better understand their predecessors, their community, and themselves. In order to further education, we provide public lectures and workshops, publish teacher resource materials, organize school and general group tours and activities, support scholarly research through significant research assistance, maintain a 1907 house museum and three other 1905 historic structures, as well as a museum of changing and permanent exhibitions, and operate a research center that has been in operation for 51 years without interruption. The New River Inn Museum of History is a lovely and unique wedding location in Fort Lauderdale, Florida that is set in the middle of Riverwalk Park on the New River. The venue can accommodate up to 200 guests. Whether you're organizing a huge and grandiose celebration for 200 guests or an intimate gathering of 50, the subtle elegance of this 1905 hotel is an outstanding setting for creating timeless experiences for your guests to remember. Beautiful, tropical-infused surroundings with a touch of southern charm, as well as stunning views of the New River, will greet your visitors at the New River Hotel. Hundreds of people can be accommodated on our lush tropical grounds. Large rooms may accommodate hundreds of guests for receptions or bridal showers, while smaller rooms can be used as a bridal suite, coat room, or just as a peaceful retreat for pre-event planning and preparation. Because it is one of the most attractive sites in Fort Lauderdale, you will find ideal photo backdrops such as first and second-floor verandas and a gazebo. With spectacular views of the New River and lush tropical and subtropical flora around us, our delightful outdoor location is the perfect place to relax.
