The Anniversary Gala is an important event for the Friends and the five museums they help to support. All net proceeds raised by the friends are used to support our museums. |
Last year the Friends of Collier County Museums hosted the 30th Anniversary Gala at Windstar Country Club in January. The five Collier County Museums were recognized: The original Collier Museum in the government center, Naples Depot Museum, Roberts Ranch Museum in Immokalee, Marco Island Historical Museum and the Museum of the Everglades in Everglades City. This celebration honored the many friends whose dedication led to the creation and development of these museums during the past 30 years.

Museum programs, special exhibitions, educational activities, new acquisitions, and capital improvements are funded by the Friends through your generous donations, memberships, corporate and individual sponsors, grants, earned income from publications, gift shop sales, and gate receipts from special events. |
Please Donate Today
Please take a moment to help us support the Collier County Museums by becoming a Friend today. Membership opportunities are available here.
"Most of us spend too much time on the last twenty-four hours and too little on the last six thousand years." Will Durant |
In 1986, the Friends of the Collier County Museums was founded with a public appeal to help build a museum to preserve and protect the history and heritage of our community.
Today, five successful museums later, the Friends still actively contribute funds, professional services, and countless volunteer hours each year to support the Museum’s collections and exhibitions, educational programs, and historic restoration projects. |
|
Preserving and safeguarding Collier County’s unique past continues to be an essential part of our mission in the firm belief that these non-renewable resources must be protected and passed on to educate and enrich the lives of future generations.
