Peek into the past and into the artistic future of Naples, Marco Island and the Everglades at area museums and cultural centers.
At Palm Cottage, located just steps from the Naples Pier, see the home’s pristine Victorian interior. The Museum of the Everglades in Everglades City presents the fascinating tale of the creation of the Tamiami Trail and workers’ lives in this former “company town.” At Historic Smallwood Store Museum in Chokoloskee, peruse pioneer goods from the early part of the 20th century.
Round out your cultural escape with a trip to the von Liebig Art Center just off Fifth Avenue South in downtown Naples. For more information on the varied happenings in Naples, Marco Island and the Everglades, visit the United Arts Council at www.uaccollier.com.
