Mitchell and his family are off to the beach for fun, and a picnic. It doesn't take Mitchell long before he is off on another adventure with Pop Pop's binoculars. Mitchell is transported back into the past where he witnesses the perils of shipwrecking on the Florida Coast, the dangers and excitement of the Caribbean pirates, the establishment of coastal settlements and the growth of the Maritime Industry in South Florida. |

In Mitchell's Magical Day on the New River, Mitchell finds himself in the middle of more exciting adventures as he travels with his family down the river on the Water Taxi. Pop Pop's special binoculars take Mitchell all the way back to the 1800s where he meets Will Cooley at his coontie plantation, soldiers from the original Fort Lauderdale, the Barefoot Mailman, the Keeper of the House of Refuge on the beach and Edwin King, builder of the Stranahan House! |

In Mitchell's Magical Day With Frank & Ivy Stranahan, young Mitchell visits the museum with his 4th grade class and is swept into the past by using his Pop Pop's magical binoculars. He becomes an active participant at Frank Stranahan's trading post, witnesses the terrible downtown fire of 1911, finds himself caught in the fury of the '26 hurricane and sees Ivy Stranahan at the Pioneer House Restaurant many years later. All the while, his class is in the present, learning about the Stranahan’s unique life and their many contributions to our community. |
