Estero Bay Historic Cottage and Matanzas Pass Preserve



On our field trip to the Historic Cottage, I learned a lot about the history of Fort Myers Beach. Our speaker at the Cottage was incredibly insightful and I really enjoyed hearing about what Fort Myers Beach was like when she was a young child. The only thing that I think the Cottage was missing was a larger area to display their information, it was hard to get around everyone to see it! A museum based on the Beach's history would be really interesting to see.

I had a great overall impression of the trip and I will definitley return someday in the future. The history lecture was the most informative and it was great that it was taught in a house that was once occupied by a family who lived on Fort Myers Beach back in the day. The boardwalk was my favorite part of the trip, it was a really relaxing walk and it was interesting to see all of the mangroves.
