The Smallwood Store in Chokoloskee was an informal community center for pioneers almost 100 years ago who shopped and got their mail there. It also did a thriving trade with the native Seminoles who trusted founder Ted Smaalwood.
The building and its artifacts have been preserved for our enjoyment and education. Visiting the Museum is like stepping back in time - it contains nostalgic items like original Coke bottles, medicinal remedies, and old-fashioned household goods, plus records going back to the early days.
The author has encapsulated the history of the area and the story of this unique family.

The historic Bank of Everglades Building was completed in 1927 as part of Barron Collier's development of his new county in southwest Florida. It served as the financial hub until 1962 after which it was a boarding house or Bed & Breakfast. In March 2021 it was donated by its owner to the Everglades Society for Historic Preservation who are restoring it to again be a dignified landmark in Everglades City.
