 On February 6, 1964, the house was moved to Florida City to land that was donated by Henry and Jackie Brooker Jr. Henry's father was one of the three men who first took residence in Florida City in 1911-1912.This move ensured the continued existence of the structure as it became the home of the Florida Pioneer Museum.The community identified a need for a center to house a growing collection of local artifacts, and through the assistance of the Homestead Women's Club, the Pioneer Museum was created in this structure.
