Presentation: The Mound House
About the Presentation
Join archaeologist Theresa Schober as she weaves together an entertaining history of Mound House with its idiosyncratic development into the cultural and environmental learning center operating today. Located on Fort Myers Beach, the 3-acre portion of the Calusa shell mound on which the historic William H. Case house was built was acquired with grant funds by the Town of Fort Myers Beach soon after incorporation. The site was subsequently transformed from a residential enclave to a small museum and grounds interpreting the 2,000 year history of the site, including a walk-in exhibit space within the Calusa shell mound known as “Stories Beneath Our Feet.”
About the Speaker
From 2002 to 2011, Theresa Schober worked with the Town of Fort Myers Beach – ultimately as Director of Cultural Resources – to develop Mound House and Newton Beach Park. In addition to heritage resource management, Ms. Schober works with Indigenous communities and institutions to support repatriation and rematriation of ancestral remains and cultural belongings to First Nations and federally-recognized Tribes through her museum practice.
