The Collier County Museum’s branch facility in Everglades City provides
visitors with an in-depth look at over 2,000 years of human history in Southwest
Florida’s unique “River of Grass”.
Opened in 1927 as a commercial laundry, the historic building dates back to
the time when construction of the Tamaimi Trail was still well underway and
the tiny settlement of Everglades served as the County seat. Permanent exhibits
tell the story of the area’s early pioneer families and highlight Barron
G. Collier’s personal dream of transforming this remote frontier village
into a modern, planned community.
The Museum building has been carefully restored to its Collier-era appearance
and is listed today on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Museum is located in nearby Everglades City, 35 miles east of downtown
Naples.
