Palm Cottage

Smith Exhibit Hall is named after Mary and Stephen Byron Smith and their generous gift matched by many donors who believe in preserving Naples’ history for generations to come. This interactive historical museum invites visitors to engage with a sensory multimedia mix increasing interest to proactively participate in displays and listen to oral histories. It is complemented by an outdoor meandering pathway with “history stations” that chronicle Naples’ history, benches to rest on, and trees to provide shade.
