Guided tours of the historic Burroughs Home in Fort Myers are now available on Friday mornings, beginning at 11:00 a.m. The Uncommon Friends Foundation is now operating the home, which was the site of the Fort Myers Woman’s Community Club’s Holiday House during December.
The one-hour tour of the home and grounds will be provided by “Mona Burroughs,” who will give an insight into the lives of the Burroughs Home residents at the turn on the 20th Century. The Burroughs Home is one of the oldest homes in Fort Myers, dating back to 1901, and has undergone several renovations in the past few years.
The cost for the tour is $10.00. Reservations are not required, but are appreciated and may be made by calling 337-9505.
The Uncommon Friends Foundation, established in 1993, is a character education foundation whose mission is to instill ethics, moral values and a sense of purpose in tomorrow’s leaders. The foundation is dedicated to enriching society by promoting the positive values James D. Newton discovered in five unique men and their wives—Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Harvey Firestone, Dr. Alexis Carrel, and Charles Lindbergh—intellectual giants who helped shape the 20th Century.
