Cruise into the Past & Archeological Tour reschedules
Due to last Friday’s (June 23) weather, the Cruise into the Past & Archeological Tour was rescheduled to this Friday, July 30. Captiva Cruises and the Mound House Cultural Resources Center will be offering a special trip -a cruise to the historic mound house on Estero Bay.
Learn about the dynamic history and ecology of Punta Rassa, Pine Island Sound and Estero Bay along the way to our destination. While at the Mound House, Theresa Schober, director of cultural resources for the Town of Fort Myers Beach, will give you a sneak peak and tour of the new underground archeological exhibit. This exhibit offers a rare opportunity to walk in an actual Calusa shell mound to observe its construction, its layers and to see this cross section of over two thousand years of Southwest Florida history. Cost for this unique opportunity is $45/person and includes a donation to the Mound House. This cruise will depart Punta Rassa at 9 a.m. on Friday, July 30, and return to Punta Rassa at 1:30 p.m. Additional information and reservations may be obtained by calling Captiva Cruises at 472-5300. Reservations are required as space is limited.
