Review:

The Hallstrom Farmstead, open to the public, is an excellent example of a family-based pineapple farm settled in the late 1800's by Scandinavian immigrants. Many of these early farms later became citrus groves. Miss Ruth Hallstrom gave her childhood home and outbuildings to the Indian River County Historical Society, which preserves the house, its collections, and its 5 acres of grounds.

Hallstrom Farmstead was part of her father's original pineapple plantation created in 1909, and today it is used to document a bygone era in southern Indian River County, Florida. The collection has photographs, furniture, and memorabilia, and historical and educational tours are provided. The adjacent 93-acre conservation area surrounding the tract is being restored as a nature preserve and green space by Indian River County, which has plans for its development.
