We owe our archives to you! If you have old photos of Bonita not included, please consider letting us borrow them to scan.

Special thanks go to Allison Fortuna for contributing most all of the archival scanning. More historic photographs of our community’s history can be found in the wonderful Images of America - Bonita Springs book, which she co-authored.
