I recently enjoyed a wonderful and welcoming tour of the Lee County Black History Society Museum led by Mr. Charles Barnes, who is truly a wealth of information and knowledge. I was impressed at how much information was conveyed by the museum's exhibits and their effective use of space, and I learned so much. I will recommend this museum to anyone interested in learning more about the history of Lee County and the valuable contributions of the vibrant Black community there!
Our organization, Ft. Myers U.D.C. had a delightful time on our tour of the museum on May 10th, 2024. We met with Autumn Watkins and Melinda Golden for over an hour in the main building. Melinda gave us a tour of the museum afterwards. The ladies were delightful and informative. We hope they are enriched with many gifts to help their area and museum grow. It is an important part if the Dunbar community.
Great gem. Finally some culture to fort Myers!
We were so excited to visit(walk in) but sadly felt like an annoyance rather than welcomed. The place is all locked up with no signage of what to do. I wonder how many people have come to visit during "open" hours, but couldn't get in and just left. Very poorly set up and staffed. So let me tell you what to do when you arrive... Go to the office building ring the bell... Then pay $15 each and they will let you in the museum. They do not accept anything but exact cash(no change or credit card )We weren't offered a tour or any... read more
