Constructed in 1862 this brick fortress now serves as a museum, highlighting the eccentric, eclectic and haunted side of Key West's past. The fort features vaulted brick ceilings, curved walls and a central lookout tower for viewing the Atlantic.

Exhibits

Cuban-American folk artist Mario Sanchez's colorful wood-carvings, depicting Key West in the early 1900s, Stanley Papio's irreverent found object art, along with artifacts from the city's haunted past including Robert the Doll, will thrill and delight visitors.
