"Old Florida" 45 minutes from Naples. Lots of history, including the Calusa and Seminoles, post-Civil War settlements, Barron Collier, formation of Collier County, Everglades National Park, construction of the Tamiami Trail, drug smuggling, and the murder of Edgar Watson. Everglades City (now 300 people) at one time was larger than Naples and was the Collier County seat, It even had a trolley and the county's first bank. Today, Everglades City and Chokoloskee offer many great opportunities for day trips. We will talk about the history and what to see and do.
