Nearby Local Attraction – The Cooper House
The historic Sanibel Cooper House was built in 1891 by George Madison Cooper, also known as Captain Cooper. At 16, Cooper had joined the confederate army as a drummer boy and when Abraham Lincoln passed the Homestead Act of 1862, Cooper came to Sanibel and purchased land to set up his homestead. In his lifetime, Cooper had worn many hats including owning a lumber mill, a store in Honduras and he was also a farmer. Once he had set up his homestead on Sanibel, he planted a tomato field, and to transport his produce he built a shipping dock on Tarpon Bay and a road for transportation. That road is now Tarpon Bay Road. The tomato fields that Cooper created are now the vast wildlife sanctuaries throughout the island.
Cooper was also the Island’s mailman and would collect mail as far as Pine Island. Residents would collect their packages from the Cooper home. The post office remained next door to the Cooper home until 1967, it is now a free-standing building next door to the Olde Sanibel Shoppes. The Cooper’s also had a well in the second home they built next to the Cooper House. Though the well is not visible, you can still see where the floor dips where it once was. There is also rumored to be a ghost who lives on the property and, as the building is now a retail store, likes to move around the merchandise!
