Walk among live oaks and lush gardens, relax in
a rocking chair on the verandah as you watch
the river roll gently by....but, first, join Mona
and Jettie Burroughs as they share the history
and colorful tales of living in one of Fort Myers'
oldest homes - The Burroughs Home.
Built in 1901, this Georgian Revival Mansion
was the scene of many social events that hosted
the Fort Myers' elite including the Edisons,
Fords, and Firestones. Antique furnishings,
historical artifacts, and delightful tales of
growing up as the privileged daughters of
wealthy businessman Nelson Burroughs and his
wife Adeline await visitors who want to take a
step back in time.
The Burroughs Home has come alive once again
under the management of Uncommon Friends
Foundation. In addition to historical tours, the
home is the perfect waterfront setting for your:
- Wedding
- Reception
- Private Party
- Family Gathering
