This was an interesting tour, I love finding out about the history of cities. Lots of photos and memorabilia. Good feel for what life was like when Naples was just starting
Lovely old cottage to experience if you have a few hours in Naples. Friendly, knowledgeable tour guide. Had a great time.
This is a very nice 45 minute tour through the oldest home in Naples, FL. There is a nice collection of historical things from the original period. Its worth taking in.
So fun and a wonderful learning experience.. great guide!! very knowledgeable
Terrific history of the area/region in a cool former train station. Wonderful volunteers - a must-see.
Well done. Qualified docents, good learning on the early history of Naples
The Palm Cottage in a Naples Treasure. Very close to the pier. The very old house has seen the tremendous transformation of Naples into a world class resort destination. A docent tour of the house adds so much to the history that this house exudes. They also have a extensive collection of OLD Naples pictures that are a delight to see. You will enjoy the tour.
Wonderful! Great place for history buffs.
It was very informative. The guide was wonderful. Id highly recommend it.
Nice little place to visit
Beautiful historic pieces and buildings, knowledgeable docents, well preserved. Very much enjoyed our experience.
Naples is a lovely city. It was nice to learn more if its background
Great way to learn how Naples, Florida started and the personalities involved. Pictures, artifacts and stories.
My favorite banyan tree lives outfront on the street. Mary, the most powerfully beautiful banyan tree by the sea. A monumental dinosaur, with stretching limbs like an umbrella of leaves. I love to sit & visit & sketch from underneath, while this gentle giant shades me & the little cottage beside it a few feet. So lucky to have her here in Naples, are we, as well as all of those beach-going feet passing beneath.
Great tour guide and place to visit. I really liked the stories and how they tied into the history of Naples.
The Palm Cottage tour is fascinating about the history of Naples.
Beautiful old home. Interesting history.
Very interesting and informative tour given by the docent. Highly recommend particularly to those interested in history of Naples or Collier County!
Fun place.
Interesting place to visit
I went along as a chaperone on my 4th graders class trip. The staff there was friendly, patient, helpful and lively! The kids learned a bit of interesting history... a glimpse at life before all the modern luxuries existed. What a fun time!
Oau... what a history, what a tour. Loved all the info, bought a few books and for sure I will come back with the kids.
IM TELLING YOU THE OLD PALM TREE IS GOING TO BE WRITTEN IN AND OLD COTTAGE BY NANCY LEE KELLY PRODUCTIONS
Great place to check out
Our tour of Palm Cottage, the oldest home in Naples, was enriched by the fascinating details and surprising historical accounts provided by our very knowledgeable docent, a true historian who was able to relay meaningful information spanning several generations. From the earliest settlements and aided by the persistence of several key visionaries, we can still enjoy a glimpse into life before the turn of the century and well before the 150+ inhabitants of this gem on the west end of the Tamiami Trail witnessed its growth to its present size. It was a real delight to learn about the role that Memphis-born Baron Collier played in the early infrastructure development and modernization of this region of Florida, with a focused effort to move neighboring Collier County forward into the next century. Visionaries were responsible in many ways for Naples’ historical growth, the completion of the Tamiami Trail, the first street lighting and creation of historical landmarks in this region, and historians like our docent at Palm Cottage continue their commendable work as trustees of that rich history. This is a must-see tour for anyone interested in learning about the historical beauty of Naples.
Wonderful old residence and delightful gardens. Docent was pleasant and knowledgeable.
