Close to 3 million people visit Key West, Florida, each year. Top attractions are beaches, clear turquoise waters, popular Duval Street for its restaurants and shopping, and author Ernest Hemingway’s home. Yet, there is more history to be had here. Two less familiar sites are nestled into back streets in Key West’s oldest neighborhood. They provide history-seeking travelers insight into two periods in America’s past.
Key West Lighthouse is located just a few blocks from the shore and from the U.S. Naval Base; and, the Little White House is on Front Street, five blocks walking or biking distance to the north.
