contributions and narratives from its many communities.
Phased Approach

a
a
Focus on organizing and preparing the house for historical activities that reflect the
community's multifaceted heritage.
Begin the archiving process:
o Sort and document photos and documents that capture the array of experiences
and contributions ftom different groups within Dania Beach, ensuring their
preservation for future generations.
Open the House: (3 months onwards)o Plan to host one to two events per month to engage the community, inviting them
to leam about the house and explore its historical significance through guided
tours.
a
Phase 2: Public Presentations and Exhibits (6 to 12 months)
o Expand outreach with monthly public presentations that highlight the local historical
significance of various communities in Dania Beach.r These presentations will showcase the mntributions that have shaped our city.. lncorporate exhibits reflecting the history and experiences of difierent groups, fostering
community-wide understanding and participation.

Why We Need Your Support
. Preserve a vital landmark and foster engagement among the diverse communities in
Dania Beach.
o Provide educational outreach that enriches public knowledge of our shared history.
r Ensure thorough documentation and preservation for future generations.
Call to Action We respectfully request the Commission's approval to utilize the
Nyberg-Swanson House as a museum for the Dania Beach Historical Society & Museum.
Security Measures
Propose the implementation of security improvements:
o lnstall alarm systems and create secure storage options for valuable artifacts and
documents, safeguarding the rich heritage represented by the community.
One of our primary concems is the security of the house. lf granted the opportunity to utilize the
space, we need to ensure the safety of historically significant items, including photos,
documents, computers, scanners, etc.
We seek information on the cunent security measures in place, specilically:
. ls there an alarm system on the property?
e Are the windows secured?
o Windows are screened, and the restoration reflects the home's 1912 appearance rather
than modern security needs, which are significantly higher today.o Could the city implement additional security measures, such as window sensors, a Ring
doorbell, or an alarm system?
Thank you for your considerationl
