Randell Research Center

The Randell Research Center (RRC) is a program of the Florida Museum of Natural History. We are dedicated to teaching the archaeology, history, and ecology of southwest Florida. Our motto is, “As we learn, we teach.”

There are no guided tours scheduled between May 2024 and December 2024. The Calusa Heritage Trail is open daily for self-guided visits from sunrise to sunset. Please follow on-site signage and stay on marked paths.

Currently, the north-facing platform on Brown’s Mound, the Randell Mound stairway, and the walkway to Smith Mound are open! While the footbridge is still in disrepair, we have opened our interior service road to allow the public to access the site on foot.
