About Museum of the Everglades
The Museum of the Everglades occupies the restored Everglades Laundry on West Broadway, a 1920s building from the years when Barron Collier made Everglades City his company town; it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Displays cover some 2,000 years of local history, from the Calusa and the Seminole to pioneers, entrepreneurs and the building of the Tamiami Trail, and the Pauline Reeves Gallery shows local artists. Run by Collier County Museums, it opens Tuesday to Saturday, 9 am to 4 pm.
