Hallstrom House

Hallstrom House is a residence in Vero Beach built in the early 1900s with construction methods and details crafted by Norwegian and Swedish workers. The structure sits on substantial grounds and displays the handiwork typical of that era.

Swedish immigrant Axel Hallstrom built the house in 1909 and started with pineapple farming, then shifted to growing citrus crops. His work shaped the region's farming practices for decades afterward.

The property functions as an educational center displaying photographs, furniture, and artifacts that represent the agricultural heritage of Indian River County.

The house stands at 1723 Old Dixie Highway SW and can be visited through guided tours organized by the Indian River County Historical Society. Advance planning helps confirm availability and access arrangements before your visit.

The surrounding land is being transformed into a nature preserve, connecting historical protection with environmental goals. This approach shows how older properties can serve new conservation purposes alongside their heritage significance.
