Located the marker at 1119 hours and emailed the answer. This marker is across the street from my grandmother's condo. The Key Marco Museum has a dedication to another family member. From what I hear the museum may be going away so see it soon. It's a great addition to Marco.

Found while on my annual vacation to Marco. My father in-law told me a little more about the Calusa tribe after I got back to the condo. But I will not type all that here so I got a extra bonus from him. I love this area and to learn more about it made this a stop worth taking.
