The Florida Pioneer Museum is a historic site in Florida City, Florida, United States. It is located at 826 North Krome Avenue. It was founded in 1961 with the donation of antique vehicles and tools. On August 14, 1973, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
The Museum is located in a replica of the old Homestead Florida East Coast Railroad Station Agent's home that was built in 1904. The house was moved to the current location in the 1960s to serve as a museum about the local area.[2] The original depot building was leveled to the platform by Hurricane Andrew in 1992,[3] and the museum reconstructed the building using the original drawings from the Florida East Coast Railway.
