Bonita Springs Historic Society

The Bonita Springs Historical Society prides itself in “Telling The Stories” of Bonita Springs History. A visit to either one of our historic homes will delight anyone of any age. Things fade away but stories remain for centuries. The rich cultural historical is passed on to generation after generation through the story telling of the guides taking guests on one of our many tours.

We are always looking for new members to join us in our quest to keep history alive and meaningful.

When Bonita Springs was Survey and Imperial River was Survey Creek life was interesting and exciting. Many things have changed but some have not. By appreciating and recalling how we began it becomes sheer pleasure to keep the stories and history alive for those who follow us.
