“Pioneer Day 2019” Brought to you by the Broward County Historic Preservation Board

The Sample-McDougald House Preservation Society invites you to share in a recreation of history as we tour the 1916 Colonial Revival Sample-McDougald home, sip a frosty beverage on the expansive veranda and gaze upon the Model A cars on the lawn. Maybe you can”crank” a Model T to get the old thing going. If so, smile, we will be taking your picture! Visit us in our new location in Pompano Beach’s Centennial Park, see how the house was moved, restored and is now a vital part of Broward County’s historical and cultural arts programming.

2:00 PM – OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

QUESTIONS CONTACT LEE WALDO: (754) 307-5446
