Everglades Society for Historic Preservation, Inc.

Everglades Society for Historic Preservation, Inc. The Everglades Society for Historic Preservation (ESHP) aims to raise awareness of our unique history and of our wealth of historic buildings.

Our Mission Statement:
Through advocacy, education, and stewardship, ESHP connects the Everglades Area to its rich past, celebrating its diverse heritage, and inspiring future generations by preserving its shared history, arts, and culture. It is unusual in Southwest Florida to find an area with so many original structures and so many families who can trace their ancestors back to settlements here in the late 1800’s. ESHP’s mission is to preserve historic sites, structures, documents, artifacts and memories within the Everglades area. The Society was founded at the end of 2004. Its territory of interest includes Everglades City, Plantation Island, Chokoloskee, Ochopee, Copeland & Lee Cypress, and Jerome.

Join Carolyn Thompson for a wonderful afternoon of stories, history, and conversation as we take a look back at Everglades City, the surrounding area, and the Old Florida way of life that has shaped our community for generations.

Enjoy good tea, great company, and plenty of fascinating stories in the historic setting of the Rod & Gun Club.

Whether you’re a longtime local or simply love the history of this special corner of Florida, we’d love to have you join us.

Come sit awhile, learn something new, share a story or two, and enjoy an afternoon together.

Reservations required. We look forward to seeing you!
