Brief DescriptionTour this 1898 Historic Home
TypeAttraction
CategoryMuseum
DescriptionThe 1898 shingle-style home sits atop a Native American Shell Mound and contains period furnishings, clothing and artifacts. The home was built by Harry and Susan DuBois and provides a unique glimpse of life in the area at the turn of the century. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Harry DuBois was born February 10, 1871 (d. 1924), on a farm in Holmdel, New Jersey. His father, John Rue DuBois (1844-1914), and mother, Anna Douglass DuBois (1848-1928), had an apple orchard in New Jersey and grew vegetables. When Harry was 16 years old, he came to Florida in 1887 to work in an orange grove on Merritt Island (Brevard County). In 1892, he sailed into the Jupiter Inlet and noticed the Indian shell mound and liked the location. He bought 20 acres of land on what is now the Intra-coastal Waterway, and grew pineapples on 10 acres. DuBois befriended Captain Charles Carlin and became part of Carlin’s crew at the Jupiter Life Saving Station and helped him build the DuBois Home.

Reviews for DuBois Pioneer Home in Jupiter, FL
RatingCommentsDemographicsCreated
5 StarsExcellent!This is a grand old house and I am thrilled that it is now part of the National Register now, and therefore protected. I have not been in the house since 1966 when, as a teenager, I visited my grandmother and grandfather, Dana and Leo Vickers. I can not wait to see it again. It has a unique history and is of a style that is not usually seen in Florida.Elderly female04-20-09
