Naples Depot Museum

Located in the beautifully restored Seaboard Air Line Railway passenger station in downtown Naples, the Naples Depot Museum tells the story of the city's development and the crucial role railroads played in its transformation from a primitive village to a booming tourist destination. Visitors to the cherished site, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, peruse fascinating exhibits showcasing local history as it pertains to transportation, from dugout canoes crafted by the Seminoles to swamp buggies and rail cars. A highlight of the exhibits, a movie plays every seven minutes in the museum's windows, giving visitors the virtual experience of watching the circa 1927 Orange Blossom Special train pulling into the station. Three authentic rail cars sit alongside the depot including a recently restored lounge car.
