Fodor's Review:

In a restored railroad depot, the Southwest Florida Museum of History showcases the area's history dating to 800 BC. Displays include prehistoric Calusa artifacts, a reconstructed chickee hut, canoes, clothing and photos from Seminole settlements, historical vignettes, changing exhibits, and a replicated Florida Cracker house. A favorite attraction is the Esperanza, a private railcar from the 1930s that was lovingly restored in 2008.

Cost: $9.50
Open: Tues.-Sat. 10-5
