Explore layers of history at this environmental and archaeological site, which covers a 30-acre peninsula jutting out into Little Sarasota Bay. Covered in shell middens, small pioneer cottages, a chapel and citrus packing house, the peninsula was bought by wealthy widow Bertha Potter Palmer, one of Sarasota's most dynamic entrepreneurs who once owned more than a quarter of Sarasota County. A museum on the property tells her story beside a unique excavated shell midden and several pioneer homesteads and outbuildings.
