A Brief History of the Smallwood Store in Chokoloskee Florida
A Brief History of the Smallwood Store in Chokoloskee, Florida, was written by local author Marya Repko and tells the colorful tale of a pioneering family whose heritage can still be seen as a “glimpse into the past” at the Smallwood Store & Museum.
As Lynn Smallwood-McMillin, granddaughter of the founders and savior of the ancient building, said “This is not a museum where you reproduce history – it is where history happened.”
This book includes:
Repko includes many old photos, a list of Further Reading, and a Time Line to help readers appreciate the long (almost 100-year) history of this landmark in Southwest Florida.
Copies of the “hot-off-the-press” book are available at the Smallwood Store & Museum in Chokoloskee and in outlets around the Everglades City area.
Available in Smallwood Store/Museum for $5.00. To order online, see www.ecity-publishing.com or phone Marya at (239) 695-2905.
