Davie School.
The Davie School Foundation was founded in 1984 to preserve the Old
Davie School as a museum of Davie and Western Broward County history
and culture. Old Davie School is listed on the National Register of
Historic Places since 1988. Partnered with the Town of Davie, the
Foundation operates a seven acre site which includes one of the largest
collections of early 20th Century buildings in Broward County: 1918
Schoolhouse, 1912 Viele House, c.1912 Walsh-Osterhoudt Home, replica
1909 Pioneer Shack and Seminole Chickee Hut. Three exhibit rooms highlight
the founding and growth of Davie and the role the school played as
a community center.
Public programs, including "Step Back In Time" (interactive school tour program), and annual heritage celebrations (e.g., Pioneer Dinner, Women's History Tea, Old Davie Christmas) are part of a vision essential to promoting local history, pioneer culture and Davie's agricultural past. The Viele and Walsh-Osterhoudt houses are also available for viewing.
