Dubois Pioneer Home/Park

Introduction

Text-to-speech Audio

Dubois Park is the site of the Harry and Susan Dubois Pioneer Home. It is the second oldest house standing in Palm Beach County. Built in 1898, the DuBois Pioneer Home is one of the last remaining historic homesteads of its type in northern Palm Beach County. Located along the Jupiter Inlet in Palm Beach County’s DuBois Park, “the house on the hill” is an excellent example of a self-sufficient South Florida Pioneer homestead.

-This website provides a small, but accurate background to the building of the DuBois Pioneer Home, saying it was built in 1898 and has stood there ever since. The website is run by the county officials, and therefore, provides an accurate information bank for details on the house. Once opened, I will visit myself to get more details from the historical signs posted around the house.

-This website provides background to the man who started the DuBois family and home construction. It provides further insight to who his family was and how they got to live in the pioneer home, as well as the connections to other men he had. The website’s information can be trusted since it is run by the county historical society, whose main purpose is to find out facts behind historical places and people.
