Step into the rich and layered past of Marco Island at the Marco Island Historical Museum. This engaging museum, open Tuesday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., invites visitors to explore the world of the ancient Calusa people with immersive displays, a recreated village scene and the renowned “Key Marco Cat” artifact on loan from the Smithsonian Institution.
Beyond its archaeological treasures, the museum traces Marco Island’s journey from its pioneer-era pineapple plantations and clam canneries through the land-boom of the 1960s and into the modern community you visit today. Admission is free (donations appreciated), making it a perfect stop for a rainy afternoon or a meaningful pause between beachfront adventures.
