Freedom Tower at Miami Dade College

The Freedom Tower at Miami Dade College is a landmark museum housed in Miami's first skyscraper, which celebrated its centennial in 2025. Originally constructed as the Miami Daily News headquarters, the building later served as the Cuban Refugee Center, welcoming hundreds of thousands of Cuban exiles to the United States. Today, Miami Dade College operates the site as a world-class museum presenting immersive multimedia exhibitions that explore the tower's layered history at the intersection of democracy, freedom, and education. The museum also maintains a growing community research archive, inviting the public to contribute personal and family histories connected to the Freedom Tower.
