The Museum of the Everglades is in the former Everglades Laundry building, a historic site at 105 West Broadway in Everglades City, Florida. On September 22, 2001, the site was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. The wayside marker describes it as the Old Laundry Building, and it was completed in 1928, serving in the capacity as a community laundry building. It became the clubhouse for the "Everglades Women's Club" in 1965, when it was purchased from the Colliers.
