East Martello Museum and Gallery
Adjacent to the airport, the East Martello Museum is located in a Civil-War-era brick fort that itself is worth a visit. The museum contains a bizarre variety of exhibits that collectively do a thorough job interpreting the city's intriguing past. Historical artifacts include model ships, a deep-sea diver's wooden air pump, a crude raft from a Cuban "boat lift," a supposedly haunted doll, a Key West-style children's playhouse from 1918, and a horse-drawn hearse. Exhibits illustrate the Keys' history of salvaging, sponging, and cigar making. After seeing the galleries, climb a steep spiral staircase to the top of a lookout tower for good views over the island and ocean.
