Relax and enjoy an exclusive 1-hour tour through centuries of Key West history. After a short walk of about 250 yards along flat, paved surfaces, board the world-famous Conch Tour Train, a wheeled vehicle that takes you back to Key West’s early days. The island’s original name was Bone Key. Explore a lush, tropical island and discover the charm of one of America’s unique architectural treasures. You’ll meet the stories of John James Audubon, Ernest Hemingway, and Harry S Truman, and be captivated by Key West’s magic. As the train meanders through Old Town with its tropical plants and flowers, you’ll pass the historic seaport, the southernmost point of the continental USA, cigar-makers’ shotgun houses, wreckers’ mansions, and distinctive churches—each part of the island’s multicultural heritage. Learn about Key West’s unique role in the Civil War, Henry Flagler’s dream and how it came true. From bold Spanish explorers to the great cigar barons and sponge magnates, people from all walks of life have made Key West their home. Delve into the history—from the golden age of settlement through the railroad era, the Great Depression, World War II, the Kennedy era, and the Cuban Missile Crisis to the present. Voted the number one tour in the state of Florida, the Conch Tour Train is a must-do for your visit to Key West.
