PIONEER LIFE
 Dedicated to Southwest Florida's first Native American cultures, the camp begins with an impression of the Paleoindians, stone-age man that first populated Florida. Pre-Columbian Calusa Indians are portrayed by members of the Heritage of the Ancient Ones. The grouping also includes early Creek and Seminole Indians, as well as the lesser known Black Seminole.


 WORLD WAR II
From 1942 to 1945 the third largest city in Florida was one of the Army's training facilities.  Thousands of soldiers and pilots trained at the Naples Airfield. 

Many of them returned after the War to buy property or take up residence in Collier County.


Come out and see our beautifully restored Sherman Tank!
