Key West is not just for nightlife! There are many museums to enjoy while you are here too. Key West has been the home to numerous famous authors, presidents who called this island their 2nd home, and even pirates with their sunken treasures were found in the waters! We like to say there is a little bit of history for all ages to enjoy and learn.
Some of my favorites include:
- The Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum
- Mel Fisher Maritime Heritage Museum
- Harry S. Truman Little White House
- U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Ingham Maritime Museum
- Key West Firehouse Museum
- Key West Lighthouse and Keeper’s Quarters Museum
- Fort East Martello Museum
- Florida Keys Eco-Discovery Center
- Key West Shipwreck Museum
- Tennessee Williams Museum
- Key West Museum of Art & History at the Custom House
- and of course… the many WONDERFUL art galleries we have on this island! (Don’t forget to check out our favorite gallery: Key West Pottery!)
