The three-building complex to be surrounded by water will represent a Calusa village. With the majority of funding in place, construction of the museum near the Marco Island Branch Library on South Heathwood, is ready to begin and projected to be complete in fall 2009. However, there is at least one hold up. kelfarrell@yahoo.com (KELLY FARRELL)Tue, 30 Sep 2008 16:29:00 -0000http://marconews.com/news/2008/sep/30/historical-society-seeks-marcos-assistance-save-ab/?partner=RSSlocalhttp://marconews.com/news/2008/sep/24/history-motion-september-24-2008/?partner=RSS  Wed, 24 Sep 2008 04:00:00 -0000http://marconews.com/news/2008/sep/24/history-motion-september-24-2008/?partner=RSShistoryhttp://marconews.com/news/2008/sep/24/30-years-ago-today-september-24/?partner=RSS  Wed, 24 Sep 2008 04:00:00 -0000http://marconews.com/news/2008/sep/24/30-years-ago-today-september-24/?partner=RSShistoryhttp://marconews.com/news/2008/sep/17/history-motion-september-17-2008/?partner=RSS  Wed, 17 Sep 2008 04:00:00 -0000http://marconews.com/news/2008/sep/17/history-motion-september-17-2008/?partner=RSShistoryhttp://marconews.com/news/2008/sep/17/30-years-ago-today-september-17-2008/?partner=RSS  Wed, 17 Sep 2008 04:00:00 -0000http://marconews.com/news/2008/sep/17/30-years-ago-today-september-17-2008/?partner=RSShistoryhttp://marconews.com/news/2008/sep/10/history-motion-september-10-2008/?partner=RSS  Wed, 10 Sep 2008 04:00:00 -0000http://marconews.com/news/2008/sep/10/history-motion-september-10-2008/?partner=RSShistoryhttp://marconews.com/news/2008/sep/10/30-years-ago-today-september-10-2008/?partner=RSS  Wed, 10 Sep 2008 04:00:00 -0000http://marconews.com/news/2008/sep/10/30-years-ago-today-september-10-2008/?partner=RSShistoryhttp://marconews.com/news/2008/sep/04/speaker-talks-about-cuba-calusa-indian-connection-/?partner=RSSCiboney Indian, historian and wood carver Felix Rodriguez had a captive audience when he spoke to about 60 members and friends of the Marco Island Historical Society at the latest summer program presentation. qproux@marcoeagle.com (QUENTIN ROUX)Thu, 04 Sep 2008 21:05:00 -0000http://marconews.com/news/2008/sep/04/speaker-talks-about-cuba-calusa-indian-connection-/?partner=RSSgoing_outhttp://marconews.com/news/2008/sep/03/30-years-ago-today-september-3-2008/?partner=RSS  Wed, 03 Sep 2008 04:00:00 -0000http://marconews.com/news/2008/sep/03/30-years-ago-today-september-3-2008/?partner=RSShistoryhttp://marconews.com/news/2008/aug/31/olde-naples-hotel/?partner=RSSPicture a beautiful sandy beach, white and wide, with spindly pine trees dotting the shore and spiky scrub palmettos just beyond. In a straight line from the 600-foot T-shaped pier offshore, on slightly elevated land, there is a small, three-story building, with a porch across the front and a cupola on top. This was Naples in 1890, and that structure was the Naples Hotel.

Indeed, their celebrity is part of the reason Palm Cottage is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. One far more illustrious guest, however, was Henry Watterson, whose portrait hangs in the Palm Cottage library.
