Architecture Artists and Entrepreneurs A Private Walking Tour in Old Key West

Experience Key West through the homes of its residents during the days of wrecking and the cigar boom, and through the hearts of composers and writers who lived here in the 20th century. Your private tour will take in the island's early architecture of gingerbread, eye brow, and classical revival styled wooden homes. We'll view where the inhabitants lived, worked, worshipped, and entertained, and hear a few of the island's ghost stories and other sordid tales. We'll examine the sites of former hospitals, dry goods stores, pharmacies, laundries, churches, and "widow's walks" where captain's wives watched in vain for their loved ones to return from doomed voyages at sea. This tour, led by a multi-generational native, will leave you inspired by the fortitude of Key West's people while leisurely strolling through one of its most understated neighborhoods.
