The Wit & Wisdom of C.G. McKinney – Sage of Chokoloskee

Museum Manager Thomas Lockyear will celebrate the life and work of one of the region’s earliest pioneer settlers: Charles Greenleigh McKinney. McKinney established the area’s first post office, was a registered midwife as well as a de facto dentist, and wrote a regular column for the American Eagle newspaper rife with wry wit that earned him the honorific moniker of “Sage of Chokoloskee”.
