If you like historical estates turned into museums, you'll like this historical experience.

A must see if you have never been here. A beautiful property along the Caloosahatchee River. Both Ford and Edison have houses on the grounds. The museum has cars from Ford and lots of inventions from Edison. A workshop where Edison did experiments is also open for viewing.

We went to the fall festival. It was really nice. There was something for everyone. Crafts, handmade items, games for kids, and activities for adults & kids. There were food trucks and animals (I think). All you need for this event.

Highly recommended. You should plan a little more time to be able to look at everything and enjoy the great gardens.

This place is awesome and filled with valuable artifacts, and takes care of them very well. Perfect place to go-except when it's hot out! Jokes aside, place is great, I recommend doing it! Nice "pier" (broken, lol), but good view of Cape!

Lots of history, botanicals. Lots of room to roam. Exhibits were more varied and detailed than I anticipated. The visit was engaging and entertaining.

A small group of us decided last minute to come here with no reservations. The location is very easy access, but there is no clear designated display on where the entrance or parking is. Traffic is congested and rude, so I had to do a U-turn to look for the entrance of the parking lot. The grounds are beautiful, and everything was preserved beautifully, including the gardens, considering the hurricanes we had last year. Every single staff member working and volunteering was absolutely friendly and extremely helpful. We need more people like the staff here all over the world. We took a guided tour to get more knowledge and it was fantastic, with all the helpful information. I loved visiting here and can't wait to come back with more family and friends.
