Part 8/9:
Barron Collier passed away on March 13, 1939, but his legacy lived on through his three sons, who inherited and rejuvenated the family business. His investments catalyzed early growth from Everglades City to Naples, and his vision laid the groundwork for what is now one of Florida's thriving regions. Local developments such as Collier-Seminole State Park and contributions to the preservation of the Everglades stand testament to his commitment to environmental stewardship.
