Tours will depart at 10 am, 11 am, 1 pm, 2 pm, 3 pm. Due to limited capacity, it is heavily suggested to purchase tickets in advance. Tours highlight the architectural heritage of the former Hotel Ponce de Leon, a nationally designated historic landmark building, built by Henry Flagler in 1888. The tour begins in the Rotunda, a 64-foot domed ceiling supported by eight ornately carved oak pillars. The interior dome displays stunning murals by George Maynard. The 800 seat Dining Hall boasts an elliptical barrel-vaulted ceiling, pierced with Tiffany stained-glass windows, musicians’ galleries, and carved oak chairs imported from Austria. Today students casually take their meals seated on these chairs.See more..

We took a guided tour of the center, which is an easy walk and full of interesting wild life. Our guide did a wonderful job of giving us a picture of the life of the Calusa people and their interactions with the first Europeans. For anyone interested in the history of southwest Florida or of America's native peoples, I highly recommend it.See more..
