The lavish historical garden was later built in 1912 by Mrs. Potter Palmer, a Chicago socialite who came to Sarasota to establish a winter estate. The private, not-for-profit organization and the museum opened in 1982.

Historic Spanish Point is a significant environmental site, and its location on the shores of Little Sarasota Bay offers the unique opportunity to view different habitats as well as plant and tree combinations.

Beautiful Site

First off, no matter who you are talking to EVERY SINGLE PERSON HERE IS NICE and professional and is happy. Whether it is the coordinator, a volunteer, the gift shop clerk-everyone is fantastic.
We got ready here and had our wedding ceremony here, and let me tell you- they know what they are doing.
We had our service during public hours-but we never would have known anyone else was on the property but us. They did a wonderful job blocking off areas we were using, and making sure we were top priority that day.
They also made sure any guests we had that had trouble walking, were properly escorted to our ceremony site.
The actual site is GORGEOUS. We spent over an hour taking photos after our ceremony. This is the perfect location if you want a bunch of wedding pictures.
Keep in mind you HAVE to buy a season pass if you are going to have your wedding here. It's really not expensive, and trust me you will want it. We visited many times before our wedding to see where we wanted our photos taken, Also, you can walk your dog on the property which is lovely.
But overall-beautiful. Everyone is kind and helpful and knows what they are doing. They made our day absolutely perfect!

Beautiful!

This was the only venue we visited. From the get go Heather was quick to respond and extremely helpful. We used the White Cottage and Sunken Gardens and it was gorgeous. Heather was accomodating throughout. We were able to get ready on site which made it easy and stress free.
