Florida History Photo Slide Show

Collier County Museum, Marco Island Florida History Museum The island home we call Marco Island was once home of the great Calusa nation. The Calusa lived and thrived on this island paradise – until the arrival of Europeans. The Calusa built thatch-roofed homes and lived off the bountiful fish, wildlife, and wild edible plants. The Southwest Florida region was home to the Calusa Indians. The origin of the Calusa may be from South America. The Calusa lived on shell mounds in the Florida Everglades. The Marco Island History Museum displays Calusa Indian artifacts and displays and is worth a special visit. Thank you for visiting Marco Island Living.com To feature your business contact us.
