In August 2006 the Bonita Springs City Council granted permission to the Bonita Springs Historical Society to occupy space at the newly renovated Liles Hotel. History exhibits are now on display in the public areas of the hotel and a first floor room is decorated as a period bedroom representative of the 1930’s. The Society’s two rooms on the second floor are utilized as a history resource center, available for use by the public, with the goal of furthering the study and understanding of our local heritage.
