The mission of Naples Historical Society is to preserve Naples history and heritage for the community and future generations to enjoy. The Society’s flagship asset is Historic Palm Cottage™. This 3,500 sq ft house-turned museum (which is Naples oldest house, built in 1895) is listed as a Landmark in the National Register of Historic Places. A ½-acre property adjacent to the Cottage is a lovely garden, The Norris Gardens at Palm Cottage, which beautifully complements the Cottage
because it serves to tell the story of Naples history through the lens of a garden. In addition, Smith Exhibit Hall™ an interactive historical museum adjacent to Historic Palm Cottage™, features educational displays, historic photos, and the chance to hear treasured oral histories. All this and other memorabilia will transport you back to the earliest days of life in Naples.
