Cape Coral Museum of History

The museum has some interesting displays and you can tell the staff really care about preserving Cape Coral’s history. It’s a nice quick stop if you’re in the area and want to learn a bit about how the city started. That said, it’s quite small and doesn’t take long to go through I expected a little more for the admission price. Still, the volunteers were kind and it’s good for a short visit or rainy day activity.

We went today to see the tour and it was extremely nice. Good to hear about the history from cape coral! Nice guide as well! !

I loved that they had a celebration for veterans.

2 hours far from closing. This ladies looked annoyed when I knock on the door, afterwards they were polite and told me that they were not opened. So I sat on the parking lot for a few minutes. 2 gentleman entered the museum and apparently had a different answer bcs they were still inside 15 minutes after entering. Don't waste your time trying to learn the history of this town if you're not white!

Thank you for raffle win 💞

It was small but informative. We learned things we didn't know. Interesting if you want to know the history of the place.

Many cool things to see here. Not all , but a must if you are into places like this.

We've never seen it before, but it sounds great and looks greats great as well. We live across the street from it.

We were visiting friends who were visiting family who live in Cape Coral. I always try to do something touristy or educational or both while traveling. Since we've been to the city several times before, we only had a few options. I'd seen this place listed online but had no idea what to expect. There's ample parking in the lot out front of the museum. In front of the main building is a white picket fence gated area called the rose garden. It had quite a few rose bushes. but not that many were blooming when we stopped by. Still there's pretty trellis and and it's a fitting tribute. In front of the museum is a dedication plaque -- honoring the two brothers, Jack and Leonard Rosen who purchased the land and developed Cape Coral. This is the only memorial in the city to them. Inside is the small "shop" and where you can purchase your tickets for $5 each. There are two other buildings to see. The tour starts off with a viewing of a short film about the founding of the city. Later on you learn about the area, the native Indians, see artifacts, learn about the early history of the town and the development company. If you live here, or nearby, or even if you're visiting, it's an interesting, informative activity. Certainly something different and perfect for a rainy morning.
