Be a Volunteer!!!!

Volunteer Tim Myette guiding an Adult Group Tour

Whether you like to give tours, talk about history, work with children, or garden, we could use your time and talents at the Fort Lauderdale Historical Society, where the railroad crosses the New River in downtown Fort Lauderdale.

Each member of our volunteer group, the Fort Lauderdale Historical Society Friends, plays a critical role in helping us share the history of our city and county.

King-Cromartie House and New River Inn

You don’t need prior knowledge of Florida history to become a tour guide for the 1907 King-Cromartie House or the Museum of History at the 1905 New River Inn. Dedicated and enthusiastic volunteers are needed for both. Long-time volunteers and Historical Society staff provide the training and coaching. This is a unique opportunity to learn, then teach others, about Fort Lauderdale’s history.
