Built in 1898, the DuBois Pioneer Home is a rare example of a self-sufficient homestead from the late 19th century, showcasing the lifestyle of early settlers in the area.
The home is situated on a Native American shell midden, which provides a natural elevation and offers insights into the area's prehistoric inhabitants.
The house is constructed in the 'cracker' style, characterized by its wood frame, wide porches, and raised foundation, designed to suit Florida's climate.
The home is located within the DuBois Park, which offers visitors access to beautiful beaches, picnic areas, and a lagoon for swimming and snorkeling.
The home was built by Harry DuBois for his family, who were among the first permanent settlers in the Jupiter area.
Visitors can explore the home and learn about the history of the DuBois family and the early days of Jupiter through guided tours offered by the Loxahatchee River Historical Society.
