About

Naples Historical Society is widely recognized as the Central Voice of Naples History.  The mission of the Society is to preserve Naples' history and heritage for the community and future generations to enjoy.  All of our educational programs and events are held at Historic Palm Cottage™, built in 1895 and new in 2025, Smith Exhibit Hall, an interactive, digital museum. Both venues serve as the portal to Naples' history and are enjoyed by tens of thousands of residents and visitors alike every year.
