About Burroughs Home and Gardens

Burroughs Home and Gardens is a historic property along the Caloosahatchee River in downtown Fort Myers where visitors take guided tours of the home and explore the grounds. The attraction operates as a museum preserving the historic house and its gardens for public visitation. Guests touring the home learn about its history and architecture while walking through the preserved rooms and spaces. The gardens on the property provide outdoor areas to explore along the riverfront setting. The site also serves as a venue for special events, weddings, galas, and corporate functions, which means visitors may encounter the grounds being prepared or used for these occasions. The Uncommon Friends Foundation operates the property and maintains its historic character. The combination of historic home tours and landscaped gardens makes this location in Fort Myers suitable for those interested in local history and heritage properties.
