Historical Village Gets New Signs

al-hanserNew informational signs have been installed at the Sanibel Historical Village, thanks to a donation from Al and Sally Hanser on behalf of the Sanibel Captiva Trust Company.

Historical Village Manager Emilie Alfino said, “Signage is one of the most important things at a museum. Ours were in dismal condition, and we’re thrilled with the new signs. Many people visit the village at times we’re not open, so this signage is very important. The new signs will enhance visitors’ experience. We’re very grateful to the Hansers and the Sanibel Captiva Trust Company.”
