The Pioneer House is the product of a project taken on by Barbara
& Dick McCall. The Pioneer House was officially opened at the
Dedication Ceremony held on June 29, 2002 thanks to over 30 members
of the Davie Historical Society, Friends of the Old Davie School,
and the community. The structure is an example of how the pioneer
spirit in lives on in the Town of Davie.

| Welcome To The Pioneer House! |

The Pioneer House is a replica of a 1908 Early Settler's Shack that
would have been found along the banks of the C-11 Canal after it was
dredged. Most of the early farmers that came to this area would have
lived in a dwelling like the Pioneer House until they were able to
build a larger house. The Pioneer House is an integral part of our
educational school tour program Step Back in Time. The children learn
about how these early settlers had to make do with what they had and
had to produce everything that they needed. During events such as
the Orange Blossom Festival, the public can visit with costumed re-enactors
and taste some good old fashioned home cooking.
