Fort Myers tour with educational narratives of local history
Fort Myers’ historic downtown area was once the site of a Seminole and then a Civil War fort. From fort to dusty cattle town to the building boom of the Roaring Twenties, from depression to post-WWII prosperity to urban decay, and ultimately to its modern incarnation as one of the most beautiful historic districts in Florida, Fort Myers is a town rich in history, architecture, art, and amenities. On this 90-minute walking tour, you learn your way around not only this charming town but also around the intrigues and rivalries of the men who built it.
