Mound House & Calusa Indian Shell Mound

As its name implies, there are two parts to the Mound House & Calusa Indian Shell Mound. First, there’s the Calusa Indian Shell Mound. For hundreds of years, the Calusa Native American Tribe lived on Florida’s southwest coast. To survive, these Native American people used shells for just about everything from tools to jewelry to weapons. And once those shells no longer served their purpose, they were tossed into a massive pile, which is now known as the Calusa Indian Shell Mound.

The Mound House is the oldest standing structure on Estero Island, and it’s built directly on top of the Calusa Indian Shell Mound. Today, this 1921 home now serves as a museum focused on the Calusa Tribe, showcasing artifacts and interactive exhibits.
