Smallwood Store

Smallwood Store, established in 1906 by Ted Smallwood, is a historic trading post located on Chokoloskee Island, known as one of Florida's last frontiers. This unique site offers visitors a glimpse into the lives of the pioneers who settled the remote area and the indigenous cultures that preceded them.

Designated as a National Historic Place in 1974, the store remained operational until 1982, with 90% of its original goods still intact. Reopened as a museum in 1990, it now serves as a time capsule, showcasing the history and heritage of Southwest Florida's early settlers and the 10,000 Islands region.
