Koreshan Estero is a historic site located in Estero, Florida.

The settlement was abandoned in 1908, and the site is now a state park. Visitors to the park can explore the historic buildings, take a guided tour, and learn about the history of the settlement.

For the admission of $4 you will enjoy the great outdoors while admiring the historical cabins throughout the grounds & the simple lifestyle items displays dating back to the early 1900s. I really enjoyed the different plants and trees, especially the BAMBOO ones absolutely stunning. Picture perfect scenery .. there was a lagoon which people were kayaking & many different trails to explore. It was a great day out … Bonus Pet Friendly!! Definitely a place to visit if your nearby💫⭐️💫⭐️

What an educational and informative place! I had no idea how long this settlement had lasted and that the king people gifted the land to Florida. A treasure of Florida history and a must see!

Nice little park with an interesting settlement. The park staff was super nice and helpful. The park was clean and had a lot of trails for walking even though the park isn't all that big. Saw plenty of wildlife, birds, turtles and the most beautiful rattlesnake.

This place is somewhat of a hidden gem! It is fascinating and worth a 2-hour stop. Ironically it's only a few feet from highway 41 and most people drive right by it. Beautiful picnic area, beautiful historic buildings and fascinating cult that occupied these grounds up until 1950 or so. If you like the Ford Edison museum in Fort Myers, you will love Koreshan and State Park. They also have a campground that is frequently available when others are not. Perfect location.

$5 entrance for cars 2 -6 people. Great state park to walk, explore history and historical buildings, picnic, fish or camp. Pet friendly. We saw a small wedding while exploring. Spent about 3 hours here 2 adults, 2 teens. We all enjoyed a great walk after brunch.
