Built in 1921, this historic two-story, 35-acre waterfront house was once the winter home of artist Frederic Clay Bartlett and his wife Evelyn. The Bonnet House is serenely elegant and preserved amidst the urban expansion of Fort Lauderdale Beach, which is what makes the land so special. Mrs. Bartlett, who died in 1997, gave the estate to the Florida Trust for Historic Preservation in 1983 in order to keep the property unchanged.
This enjoyable museum for children of all ages is known for its interactive, hands-on displays, which change frequently.

The beachfront area draws hundreds of visitors each year due to its cleanliness and the variety of shops, dining and nightlife destinations that are nearby, not to mention the abundance of parking available in the area.
