Self Guided Key West Cemetery Tour is a great "totally free" way to learn about the island's history.
The historic Key West Cemetery entrance gate is located at the corner of Poorhouse Lane and Margaret St. in Old Town Key West. Just inside the gate is a box loaded with free tour maps of the cemetery provided by the Historic Florida Keys Foundation. The cemetery was created in 1847 following a devastating hurricane in 1846 which destroyed the previous cemetery and left those interred
strewn about the island in a horrific mess.
