Museum of the Everglades

First opened in 1927 as a commercial laundry, the building that now houses the Museum of the Everglades is one of several historic structures still standing as a testament to the town’s time as a once-bustling center of business and the region’s first County seat. The museum’s permanent and rotating exhibits provide visitors with an in-depth look at over 2,000 years of human history in the area and tell the stories of those adventurous enough – and tenacious enough – to settle “Florida’s Last Frontier”.

Faithfully restored to its original, 1920s Collier-era appearance, the museum is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is located 35 miles east of downtown Naples and less than 100 miles from Miami.
