点评:Since hurricane Ian in 2022 there isn't a lot to see on Sanibel Island except for Hurricane Restoration projects.
The causeway is open and still there are construction gangs tying up access to everything. This will go on for years; take my word for it.
I timed my visit in May, 2024 around the published schedule for the museum being open, and it was. The main reason for this visit was to get my US Lighthouse Society passport stamps for the Sanibel Island lighthouse and there is also a stamp for the Historic Village. Got 'em both.
Fritomann is a museum rat and lighthouse climber and these stamps were crucial. And there is another lighthouse stamp available at the Sanibel Captiva chamber of commerce and visitors center right at the causeway terminus.
The volunteers at the Historic Village were glad to see anyone who comes in and they were busier than I thought they would be, since the museum hadn't yet reopened back in October, last time I was on Sanibel. And most of the buildings and displays here are still closed.
But when I showed my USLHS passport to the receptionist, she knew exactly what I was therefore. We had a nice long conversation about collecting lighthouses. I am kind of surprised when someone takes an interest in this hobby of mine.

堤道是开放的,但仍有施工队封锁了所有通道。这种情况将持续数年;相信我。
我计划在 2024 年 5 月参观,正好赶上博物馆开放的公布时间表,而且确实如此。这次访问的主要原因是获得美国灯塔协会的圣尼贝尔岛灯塔护照印章,还有历史村的印章。我都拿到了。
Fritomann 是博物馆的老鼠和灯塔攀登者,这些印章至关重要。在堤道终点站的圣尼贝尔卡普蒂瓦商会和游客中心还有另一个灯塔印章。
历史村的志愿者们很高兴看到任何人进来,他们比我想象的要忙,因为上次我在萨尼贝尔岛的时候,博物馆在 10 月还没有重新开放。这里的大部分建筑和展品仍然关闭。
但当我向接待员出示我的 USLHS 护照时,她确切地知道我是谁。我们进行了一次关于收集灯塔的愉快长谈。当有人对我的这个爱好感兴趣时,我有点惊讶。
