Be sure to go the first full weekend of the month because the Bank of America Museums on Us means you can visit for free! What stands out about this museum is the focus on local works of art and local artists. I think they do a great job highlighting these people, making you realize there are plenty of very talented artists in the state of Florida :)

Since we've been visiting the Naples/Marco Island area for many years now, Nate and I have done a…read morelot of the tourist attractions like the zoo, botanical gardens, a few museums, etc. but somehow had never been to the Marco Island Historical Museum until our visit in March 2026. The museum is free to visit, and I was really impressed. We got an overview when we entered and learned a lot about the history of Marco Island and its residents, starting with the Calusa period (pre 1700s). The history is fascinating and although some of it was a little washed over, I think most of it was well done in terms of honoring the native people of the area. There was a rotating exhibit while we visited about the evolution of transportation that happened throughout the island's history, which included ships, airplanes (Marco Island Airways operated in the 70s and 80s, trains, and automobiles. The other exhibits were packed with lots of information and artifacts which were very cool to see. The displays were nicely done with lots of great visuals. I especially enjoyed learning about the Mackle brothers, who had a large part in developing the island. They also had the famous Key Marco Cat on display, which was discovered in 1896 and was perfectly preserved in an oxygen-free bog. It is currently on loan to the Marco Island Historical Museum but is returning to the Smithsonian in April 2026. I'm glad we got to see this unique icon, especially as a cat lover. If you're interested in history, I highly recommend visiting this museum.

The layout allows for great views from just about anywhere, which makes the experience enjoyable. One thing to keep in mind is accessibility. If you have any issues with walking, climbing, or mobility, you may want to choose seats closer to the bottom or opt for floor seating. The seating is somewhat bleacher-style, so getting to higher rows does require walking up. Overall, it's a wonderful venue, and I always enjoy attending events here.

The photos & videos speak for themselves. Bring sunscreen, a hat, and water or candy to keep your mouth moist. There are miles of trails here but not enough signage along the way to keep me from getting lost , as is my habit. There are a couple of waterfalls and colorful flowers planted along the path of some of the trails. There are Some Tiki Huts to sit & rest awhile. Also many benches along the trail to take a breather if so desired. So, come , relax and enjoy God's Green acre.

This boxcar is available for local schools, colleges, public facilities, churches and synagogues as mobile exhibit. The mission of Holocaust Museum is simple: "To Teach the lessons of the Holocaust to inspire action against bigotry, hatred and violence." The museum displays many artifacts, photos related to Holocaust and World War II. They are professionally displayed from rise of Nazism to Liberation and Nuremberg Trials. Many of artifacts belongs to families of survivors in Southwest Florida. Many audio and video footages are available and packed with information. We did not use the tablet guide but just slowly walk and read the information at each display. We took little over 60 minutes for this tour. A docent led tour and lectures are also available. Wow, we were simply blown away and amazed by the professional, working exhibits and the friendly staff. We recommend this museum to everyone as this history is so important and made a significant impact to humanity.
