Two years ago, Mitch Geriminsky and I took a cruise to Havana, Cuba. Along the way we stopped at Key West, Florida for a few hours of roaming around by foot or aboard one of several trams.
Even though our visit was only a few hours, I found Key West to be an interesting place. Along with shops, bars and restaurants, I did take in a couple of museums.
The first one was the home of author Ernest Hemingway and the Shipwreck Museum. But there are others in Key West to visit and the Key West Florida Weekly has some listed. While on a tram, we passed by the Custom House Museum, but we didn't stop in (photo at top).
They begin with:
Key West’s subtropical climate means the island is typically blanketed in a viscous humidity that makes a short walk to the mailbox feel like wading through tapioca pudding. Luckily, Key West is chock full of fascinating museums where both kids and adults can attempt to stave off the cognitive slump that begins to take hold when the temperature hits 88 degrees. If you’re new in town, or if you’re just desperate for a place to escape the heat and maybe learn a few things while you’re cooling off, check out some of Key West’s best places to expand your mind.
To see what they are, go here.
