100 Years of Baseball Spring Training in Lee County

Join Museum Manager Holly Shaffer of Edison-Ford Winter Estates for an in depth look at the history of Spring Training in Lee County. The Boston Red Sox and Minnesota Twins train now but at one time Fort Myers was the training home for the Philadelphia Athletics, Cleveland Indians, Pittsburgh Pirates and the Kansas City Royals. Thomas Edison attended games and even took batting practice with the famous Connie Mack. This program is free and open to the public.
