about scavenger hunt walking tours

Activity Info: His Greatest Invention

In the late 19th century, inventor Thomas Edison began wintering in Fort Myers, which he found while driving Florida's coast. He also had a laboratory on his large estate by the beautiful Caloosahatchee River, and before long, his friend Henry Ford moved onto the property. For all his accomplishments, perhaps Edison's greatest invention was Fort Myers itself. On this epic scavenger hunt of Fort Myers, you'll explore the charming streets, tranquil parks, and riverside sights. You'll learn why Edison fell in love with Fort Myers and explore the impact he had on the city's growth. It's time to strap on those walking shoes, round up some friends, and book your Fort Myers scavenger hunt today!

You can do our interactive scavenger hunt at any time. Explore the art, culture, and history of Fort Myers.

Some of what you'll see: Sidney Berne Davis Art Center, Old Lee County Courthouse, Murphy-Burroughs House
