History
Originally built in 1901, Burroughs Home & Gardens remains one of the first Georgian revival-style homes still standing in Fort Myers. It was previously occupied by the Burroughs family and still features most of its original furnishings, including twinkling chandeliers, handcrafted furniture, and more. Having hosted numerous notable guests over the years, including Thomas Edison and Henry Ford, it is now featured on the National Register of Historic Places.
