The History of Burnt Store Road

Please join Burnt Store Marina resident Graham Segger for an entertaining presentation on the history and development of Burnt Store Road. The road spans Lee and Charlotte Counties and is a key artery connecting the communities of Cape Coral, Pine Island and Punta Gorda. The program will provide details on the location and history of the original Burnt Store, the development of the communities along the road, the conservation lands around Charlotte Harbor and, the early commercial activities in the area. The presentation will include a number of period maps and photos and will be of interest to anyone who has traveled Burnt Store Road and wondered about its place in the evolution of Southwest Florida.

Graham Seggar is a seasonal resident and retired Canadian CPA who has written a book about the Burnt Store area; Where Do We Live? Research by a Seasonal Resident of Burnt Store Road.
