The story of the Chokoloskee Bay country: with the reminiscences of pioneer C.S. "Ted" Smallwood
The store has been maintained, and in some cases restored to its early days. Walking inside is like walking into an old picture. An array of antiques from the early part of the century surrounds a life-sized mannequin of Ted Smallwood, sitting in a rocker just like he did 60 years ago. The store sits on pilings, and if you look out the back window you'll see the spot where Ed Watson was killed in 1910. Some of Smallwood's reminiscences can be read in the book "The Story of the Chokoloskee Bay Country" by Charlton W. Tebeau. The store was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, and restoration of the store as a museum was started in 1990 by the nonprofit Ted Smallwood Store, Inc
