History
The Florida Pioneer Museum in Florida City preserves both local artifacts and a surviving piece of the region’s early railroad era. Its main building began as the station agent’s home at the Homestead Florida East Coast Railroad station, one of two bungalow-style employee residences built in 1904 in a Philippine style associated with Henry M. Flagler. Moved to Florida City in 1964, it became the heart of a museum founded in 1962 through community efforts, including donations of Native American artifacts, tools, and pioneer materials. The site was established in the 1960s, and the building joined the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1973.
