The Florida Pioneer Museum is a historic site in Florida City, Florida, United States. It is located at 826 North Krome Avenue. The Museum is located in the old Homestead Florida East Coast Railroad Station Agent's home. The Florida East Coast Railway had it constructed in 1904. The house was moved to the current location in the 1960's to serve as a museum about the local area. On August 14, 1973, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. The Museum is open in the winter starting in November and running thru April - Wednesdays and Saturdays - 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM. It is staffed by volunteers.

The museum was closed after Hurricane Andrew for approx. 10 years. The building had little damage except for some broken panes of glass. However, the museum was vandalized and we have not been able to recover some of the lost items. Currently the museum has a new roof and is working on getting the porch repaired and the building painted.
