Description

Set in Naples' first passenger train station, the museum shows how generations of Southwest Floridians used technology and transportation to conquer a vast and seemingly impenetrable frontier. Fascinating exhibits and artifacts tell how trade and travel transformed Naples from a napping village of 300 residents to today's glittering Gulf Coast resort.

Mission Statement

The Naples Depot Museum is a non-profit, educational institution, governed by the Collier County Government. The museum's mission is to present the railroading days of the Roaring Twenties and show how generations of Southwest Floridians used technology and transportation to conquer a vast and seemingly impenetrable frontier. Fascinating exhibits and artifacts tell how trade and travel transformed Naples from a napping village of 300 residents to today's glittering Gulf Coast resort. The institution maintains an original 1928 railroad depot, 1947 diesel locomotive, 1920s baggage car and an early 1900s caboose.
