Immokalee, Collier County’s largest inland community, has long been associated with sprawling cattle ranches and a thriving agricultural economy.

Originally home to cattleman Robert Roberts and his family, today the Collier County Museum’s fifteen-acre Immokalee Pioneer Museum provides visitors with a unique opportunity to experience daily working life on a typical Southwest Florida homestead and citrus grove from the early1900s.

Exhibits, living history programs, and nineteen carefully preserved buildings tell the story of the cow hunters, ranchers and pioneer families who struggled to settle this untamed wilderness prairie on the edge of the Big Cypress Swamp and became leading figures in one of the region’s oldest industries.

The Immokalee Pioneer Museum at Roberts Ranch is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is located in downtown Immokalee, 44 miles east of Naples.
