3 Great Historic Attractions Near Marco Island

3 historic attractions near marco island - marco island homes for sale

Looking for a peek into history while you consider buying a home on Marco Island? Whether you’re looking for a condo for sale on Hideaway Beach, an estate home for sale on Marco Island, or a condo on Cape Marco, you’ll find that the area is rich in history and that there’s plenty to explore.

Marco Island Historical Museum

This museum is notable for its exhibits about the Calusa Indians, a tribe that occupied Southwest Florida for before European settlement. On display is the famed Key Marco Cat, a six-inch wood carving that serves as a representation of the Calusa’s talent in making visual art.

Collier County Museum

Located on five acres of land in Naples, this attraction is an excellent way to learn about the history of the area. Visitors can explore exhibits covering the prehistoric era, early European settlement, and the Seminole tribe. The museum’s grounds are also home to two historic cottages, several swamp buggies, and a logging locomotive.

Captain Horr’s Pineapple Plantation

Along Whiskey Creek Drive in Key Marco, you’ll find the ruins of this 19th-century plantation house. During his lifetime, Captain Horr, a U.S. Marshall and Civil War veteran, was one of Marco Island’s most notable citizens. Although only the walls remain standing, this site allows visitors to get a glimpse back to when the area served as a center for pineapple farming. The spot is a popular stop for cyclists exploring the island’s roads and trails.
