Reviews
"Wonderful museum. Lots of written information, photos, and hands on activities. Learn the history of the island beginning with the indigenous people who lived there first."
"Best place on the island to learn about the history of Marco. The staff was very friendly and passionate about the exhibits. There is so much information here and you could spend hours walking through just reading everything"
"Loved it! Lady at the front desk was super helpful and informative. The interactive portion was great for the little ones. It's worth the time, check it out for yourself and learn a thing or two about Marco's history."
"I went with a school on a field trip and apart from the traffic to get there from Fort Myers, everything else about the trip was really enjoyable. They had a couple of hands-on activities for the kids, and the exhibits were really well done. I intend to take the rest of the family back for a visit."
"We were there back a few years ago and what a treat. To learn the true history of how Fla and it's people came to be. It is not a huge museum but it is loaded with lots of great facts information and artifacts. If visiting Marc Island ,I wouldn't miss the opportunity to see and hear the stories and history of this small but wonderful Island . I think it's a must !!"
