About

Located at 938 Whitehead Street, the fully restored Key West Lighthouse and Keeper’s Quarters Museym remains a historic landmark on the island. Open to the public for a small admissions fee, the museum admits guests from 9:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. every day except Christmas. The lighthouse is a testament to the island’s maritime history. In addition to honoring the lives of the men and women who maintained the lighthouse from the late 19th century, the museum also features the first order Fresnel lens from the decommissioned Sombrero Key Lighthouse. Visitors can climb the 88 steps to the catwalk for a birds-eye-view of Key West.
