Be a tour guide in our historical musume house:
Built in 1891, it is the oldest house in Miami-Dade County, still in its original location. The Barnacle was the home of Ralph Middleton Munroe, one of Coconut Grove's founders, as well as the founder and commodore of the Biscayne Bay Yacht Club. An interesting fact about the house is that it is a two-story home. The top floor is the original first floor, which was built in 1891, and the bottom floor is the second floor, which was built in 1908. The house is open for tours every Friday-Wednesday and closed on Thursdays. There are 4 tour blocks: 10:00 a.m., 11:30 a.m., 1:00 p.m., and the last tour is at 2:30 p.m. We have a wonderful library of training and reading material to get you ready for your first tour. So come and sign up today to share your knowledge of The Barnacle.

Description
Built in 1891, The Barnacle offers a glimpse of frontier life during the Era of the Bay, when all travel to and from Miami was by sea. Situated on the shore of Biscayne Bay, this was the home of Ralph Middleton Munroe, one of Coconut Grove's most charming and influential pioneers. Munroe preserved the forest on his land, cutting out only a winding buggy trail through the hammock - barely wide enough for one vehicle. As a result, the property contains many large, old trees.
