Fort Myers

Among the cities of Florida, Fort Myers stands out for its association with Thomas Edison and Henry Ford, whose former winter estates stand beside the Caloosahatchee River. Edison first came here in 1885, and the riverside property includes his historic home, gardens and a botanical research laboratory. The downtown River District brings together restaurants, galleries and preserved early-20th-century commercial buildings, while the broad Caloosahatchee leads west toward San Carlos Bay and the Gulf of Mexico.
