This structure was constructed in 1862 to protect Fort Zachary Taylor from confederate attack. Now it's an eclectic museum that houses various artifacts from Keys life and history. See found art sculptures by Stanley Papio, woodcarvings by Cuban folk artist Mario Sanchez, a Cuban refugee raft and books by the seven Pulitzer Prize-winning authors that have lived in Key West.

See the keys as you paddle along on an eco-friendly kayak tour. Rent single or tandem boats. See a great diversity of marine life and habitats in a small area. Pass through meandering mangrove creeks, paddle over sandy shallows brimming with coral, sponges, starfish, crabs, anemones, and sea urchins. Drift near a majestic forest of red and black mangroves.
