We showed up at 0900 and found a sign on the door, "Gone to the Post Office, be back soon". Well, thet didn't get back soon and we gave up after 20 minutes.

The exhibits are well done and well documented, especially if you prefer to read about the exhibits like I do. Really interesting for the local tribes history to how the Tamiami came to be built.

With my "excellent" rating, I am not comparing this to a major, large city museum. However, if you are in Everglades City or the area and would like a relatively quick review of the history of the area, this is a comfortable, inclusive and interesting place to visit. The town has acquired a lot of artifacts and presents history in... More

For a quick look on a rainy PM, why not. It has some interesting tidbits of the city and the glades in general, but nothing to leave you astonished.

This was a fun educational place in this unique small historical town called Everglades City. Apparently used to be the laundromat turned into museum depicting all of the interesting history and facts about the area from the time of the Native Americans till present day. The admission is free so definitely worth checking out while visiting the area.

Very nice little museum in Everglades City. Also walked up the observation tower. Both are small but a big part of the history of the city. We enjoyed our day very much and would not miss either attraction while in town.

The previous review is captioned "sad museum." Far from it. It's quaint, cute and full of old stuff. For crying out loud, this is the Everglades museum, not the British Museum! Yes, some of it is corny, but that is part of the "kitzch" of this type of place. And it's free! (Donations) And then go across the street to... More

We weren't expecting much and that's what we got. Friendly staff, just nothing there to see. The few donated items that were given to the museum left a lot to be desired. A spoon? It wasn't even that old. The old laundry equipment and still were about the best things there.
