Set up as a pioneer village, the local history museum features a Cracker house (wooden pioneers' house from 1913) whose dining room, parlor and kitchen are appointed with period furnishings. Additional rooms contain fossil and shell displays, Spanish shipwreck artifacts and 2,000-year-old remains of the Calusa Indian culture. Other buildings on the site include a tea room, the 1926 Sanibel post office and Bailey's General Store, which functioned as the nerve center of the community until the early 1960s.
