A Start for the New Year

Now is the time to start the new year off by supporting our community. The Everglades Society for Historic Preservation was established in 2004 with the intention of “saving” City Hall from deterioration. After Hurricane Wilma, FEMA funds were available to restore the original Collier County Courthouse. Over the past 22 years, ESHP has accomplished so much more in the community.  

Today our Mission Statement is: 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. With our old Welcome Center in Carnestownbeing damaged in 2017 and the dissolution of our local Chamber of Commerce, thousands of visitors rely on ESHP to direct them to restaurants, hotels, tours, etc.  

Supporting our local artists, providing the space and opportunity to display and sell their crafts. 

Thank you again for your interest in our community and its heritage. ESHP is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, and your dues may qualify as a tax-deductible contribution.
