    What a legendary night at Pompano Beach Amphitheater for the Willie Nelson concert! Willie still…read moreknows how to command a crowd and turn a South Florida night into pure magic under the stars. This venue seriously deserves its flowers. Every seat feels like a good seat -- even farther back you still get amazing views, great sound, and that intimate concert vibe that bigger arenas just can't match. The covered open-air setup makes the whole experience feel relaxed, breezy, and perfectly Florida. The crowd energy was incredible, the acoustics were on point, and the staff kept things moving smoothly all night. Only downside? Parking was definitely a bit of a struggle getting in and especially leaving after the show. Pro tip: arrive early and pack a little patience for the exit traffic. Totally worth it once the music starts. Between the iconic Willie Nelson performance and the atmosphere at The Amp, this was one of those "you just had to be there" concert nights. #WillieNelson #LiveMusicMagic #SouthFloridaNights #ConcertVibes #YelpElite #FiveStarNight #PompanoBeachAmp

    This museum is filled with SO MUCH historical information everywhere in almost every single room!…read more This was definitely enjoyable! I was creeped out by the Native American mannequin holding the gun on the second floor. There was so much to read I just couldn't keep up with everything. The floors are the original Dade County pine wood like Old... ...Davie School and everything is still originally built except for the electric and water running thru the building. The third floor had a beautiful painting display in 3 different rooms and there was a model.... ....room of what this building should've looked like during it's early motel era. I was told customers only paid around $2 to spend the night here which was alot back in those days. Before you tour the building there's a historical short film about Fort Lauderdale in the lobby downstairs which was exciting. Only downfall, you have to pay for parking outside. Another thing was, none of the staff... ...told me that there were two more houses outside to look at, everyone stayed quiet. I was charged my $3 with food stamps to see this. But I'd recommend you ask what is available to see before going on your own.

    Excellent museum to learn about the history of Fort Lauderdale. From the early Native Americans,…read morethe Seminole Wars , Pioneers , WW2, to the present. The main museum is housed in a former historic hotel along the New River; there are two other adjacent historic buildings (old house and replica schoolhouse ). Frank S. at the front desk was an amazing ambassador for the museum; my aunt and I signed up for the guided tour per his recommendation - it was well worth it. The tour guide (my apologies I don't recall his name) was very knowledgeable. The museum has a number of cool artifacts within it's collection. The top floor had local working artist studios which was fun to explore. Give yourself about an hour to an hour and half. There are nearby restaurants and parking is convenient.

    On Saturday, we took a road trip to the Pompano Beach area to sight see the area. We found…read morerecommendations to see the Hillsboro Lighthouse and the museum. We love to visit lighthouses when we can and decided to see this also. At Hillsboro Park, we came across this museum and decided to explore. It is a one room museum filled with information about the lighthouse that was built in 1907. You can sign up for boat tours to visit the Lighthouse once a month thru the museum. It is free. Only 8 people can comfortably fit inside, so there is a waitline. But it goes fast. Some people choose to climb up the outside of the Lighthouse at their own risk. Others climb the 175 stairs inside to get to the top. This museum is not funded by the US government, so they offer Lighthouse items for sale at this museum to maintain the Lighthouse and Museum. They sell t-shirts, pictures, postcards, attire, mugs, booklets, and other items. The lady who works here was very helpful in explaining the history of the Hillsboro Lighthouse. She is very nice and welcomes everyone. It was a pleasure to learn about the Museum. We also enjoyed the park it is located at.

    There is a tiny museum dedicated to the Hillsboro Lighthouse in Roy L. Rogers Family Park also…read moreknown as Hillsboro Inlet Park. You have to pay for parking in the lot at the meter. The park offers a beautiful view of the boats in the inlet and a view of the Hillsboro Lighthouse. The Hillsboro Lighthouse Museum is around the corner from the restrooms, blink and you might miss it. The one room museum is run by the Hillsboro Lighthouse Preservation Society which was founded in 1997 to preserve the Hillsboro Lighthouse which is located across the inlet from the museum. The Preservation Society does not get any funding from the US government. All of the money that goes to keeping the lighthouse operating is provided by their fundraising and whatever grants they can get. To raise money they sell lighthouse memberships and they give tours once a month. The land the lighthouse sits on is controlled by the US Coast Guard so you can only visit during the Preservation Society's tours. They also sell lighthouse themed items while giving the tours and in the museum. They host a lighthouse gala once a year and sell tickets to that as well. The small museum at Hillsboro Inlet park is only one room. They sell shirts, lighthouse themed items, postcards, notecards, mugs, plates, and coasters. Displays in the museum focus on information about the Hillsboro Lighthouse and The Barefoot Mailmen who were eleven US postal workers who delivered the mail in South Florida from 1885 to 1893 by walking barefoot on the beach from Palm Beach to Miami. Before the mailman started the route, a letter from Lake Worth to Miami could take anywhere from 6 weeks to 6 months to arrive and would be routed through Cuba. The annual salary of a Barefoot Mailman was $600 a year. The trip started on Monday and took three days to get to Miami, Then they would turn around and come back for a round trip of 136 miles. Eighty miles were walking and fifty six miles were by boat. The three day trek down the coast was not without it's danger. You can find statues and markers dedicated to them all down the coast from Lantana to Miami. Barefoot Mailman James "Ed" Hamilton mysteriously vanished in 1897 while crossing the Hillsboro Inlet. The mystery of what happened to Hamilton is fascinating. Was he eaten by an alligator, killed by native people, or did he drown? No one will ever know. The museum is staffed by a Preservation Society volunteer who donates their time. The next lighthouse tour is February 11th on shuttle boats leaving from Sands Harbor Dock. The museum is open seven days a week from 11am until 3pm and on tour days it opens at 10 am. If you love the lighthouse as I do drop in for a visit to the museum or for a lighthouse tour and support the Lighthouse Preservation Society in their mission to keep the lighthouse open and accessible to everyone.

    I love finding public art that culturally enriches the community. I discovered this bronze…read moresculpture in front of the E. Pat Larkins Community Center during a tag sale. Family Roots is by artist George Gadson. Interesting fact about George Gadson is that he is self taught. His artwork is inspired by spirituality and values. His public art works seek to highlight the forgotten history in communities and to capture civic memories. Gadson also created the Kathleen Cooper Wright statue in front of the KC Wright Broward County School Board administrative offices along with numerous other art works displayed throughout South Florida in multiple locations including the African American Research Library and Cultural Center, the City of Lauderhill, the City of Tamarac, the Broward County and the public commissions in Miami-Dade and in Palm Beach County. For Family Roots, Gadson met with the Northwest Pompano Community for input in the design. The sculpture was installed in 2007 and features a family embracing on top of a granite pedestal engraved with the name of community heroes. In 2022 the City of Pompano Beach had the sculpture restored. About this work Gadson has said "This sculpture was created to empower the community with knowledge of their culture and heritage. A community without knowledge of their history is like a tree without roots." I fully endorse that sentiment and I love the message of family and community that is represented in this piece.

    We had visited the E. Pat Larkins Community Center recently and noticed this prominent sculpture…read moreright outside the front entrance. Artist George Gadson did this bronze on commission for the City of Pompano Beach to be placed here. It was first installed in 2007. The theme "family roots" was to pay tribute to the "preservation of family heritage". In 2022, the statue was restored (cleaned and polished, etc.) along with the engraved names on the plaque on the pedestal below. The names listed represent the unsung heroes in the local community. If you're in the area, stop by to see this sculpture. You can feel the love between the parents and their children as portrayed. It's a fitting tribute.
