A must see on Pine Island!!

Nestled in the heart of Pine Island, the Museum of the Islands offers visitors a fascinating glimpse into the people, industries, and traditions that shaped one of Southwest Florida's most unique communities.

Established in 1990, the museum occupies the island's original public library building, which was lovingly restored by local volunteers. Inside, you'll discover exhibits featuring commercial fishing memorabilia, Calusa artifacts, shells, historic photographs, household items, pioneer tools, vintage maps, and displays highlighting Pine Island's rich maritime heritage. Each exhibit tells a story of island life through the generations.

The museum is operated almost entirely by dedicated volunteers who donate thousands of hours each year to preserve the area's history and welcome visitors.

Standard hours are 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, with group tours available by appointment. Whether you're a history enthusiast or simply curious about Pine Island's past, the Museum of the Islands is a worthwhile stop that celebrates the community's enduring heritage.
