History is Fun! This is the original Lee County Community Band.
In 1885 it was the Ft. Myers Brass Band. Their first public performance was played for Thomas and Mina Miller Edison. It was in March of 1886 at the Seminole Lodge. Thomas and Mina had just moved into their winter home. Thomas ended up becoming friends with many of the band members. Music makes friends: Join us:
Sunday, Sept. 6th- 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. We welcome the Little Lee County Community Band. Get your tickets online or at the door. Invite your friends!

While you wait, check out the Museum of the Islands. There is so much to see and learn. They even have a book for sale about Thomas Edison. Learn how he was connected to our area in other ways. https://www.museumoftheislands.com/
