Edison and Ford Winter Estates

Explore Fort Myers through historic winter homes, gardens, a museum, and a research laboratory. Edison and Ford Winter Estates brings several interests together, so a visit can focus on more than the names associated with the property.

What makes this a distinctive stop

The preserved homes connect the setting with the Edison and Ford families, while the museum and laboratory introduce a different part of the story. The gardens give the visit another dimension. Think about which of those interests brings you here before deciding how to spend your time.

History alongside an outdoor visit

Allow time for both the exhibits and the grounds. Looking at the landscape after spending time with the historical material can help you see the property as a place where people lived and worked, rather than as a collection of separate displays.

Build a Fort Myers day around it

Make the estates your main stop, then continue with a downtown outing if you want a second experience. A meal and time to look around can be enough. There is no need to fill every part of the day to come away with a better sense of Fort Myers.
