Collier County Museums

The mission of the Collier County Museum Division is to engage residents and visitors in appreciation and understanding of our communities’ unique heritage and cultural development. Established in 1978, the Collier County Museums offer a rich sampling of the people, places and events that make this area’s history and heritage well worth exploring. We offer five separate and unique museum facilities, each providing a different glimpse into our past, where a diverse blend of old and new, history and legend, weaves its story across a glittering landscape of sun-warmed beaches, ancient cypress forests, and the sprawling grasslands of the Florida Everglades. Discover fierce saber cats and long-vanished civilizations, stunning archaeological finds and curious inventions, turn-of-the-century trading posts, cowmen, cattle ranches, and some of Florida’s most adventurous and colorful characters. It’s a story that’s far too big to be told in just one visit – or one museum.

We have 5 local history museums with free admission. We provide historical information and education to all the community.
