Roberts Ranch, Historic ranch in Florida, US
Roberts Ranch is a 15-acre open-air museum in Immokalee, Florida, made up of 19 preserved buildings from the original ranch. It is operated as the Immokalee Pioneer Museum, one of the five Collier County Museums, with displays on late 19th-century ranch life at the edge of the Big Cypress Swamp.
The property began as an operating cattle ranch in south Florida in the early 1900s. Its preservation has made it possible to maintain this chapter of the region's agricultural past.
The buildings and their layout show how ranchers in this region lived and worked. You can see how daily life unfolded on a historic farm and what tools were used for everyday tasks.
The property sits in an easy-to-reach area of south Florida with good road access. Visitors should expect uneven ground and paths between the different buildings are often unpaved.
The property preserves rare examples of buildings designed specifically for Florida's subtropical climate. This building style is rarely seen in the region today, making the site particularly valuable for architecture study.
