Surrounded by five acres of beautiful native Florida vegetation at the County Government Center, Collier County Museum explores the history of the region and the lives of the first settlers and their families who resided here more than 100 years ago.
This flagship museum features excellent exhibits and displays that capture the full panorama of local history, ranging from prehistoric mastodons and the Calusa Indian civilization to the heroic journey of the Seminole people and traditional arts and crafts. Explore the native gardens surrounding the museum, take in the restored Naples cottages, or admire and learn about a traditional Seminole village or Calusa Indian camp as it was centuries ago. The museum boasts a shady courtyard that is ideal for a quiet picnic and some downtime and a small gift shop for souvenirs and memorabilia.
