A Self Guided Key West Cemetery Tour

This self-guided audio tour takes you through the Key West Cemetery, a unique graveyard filled with characters that shaped the island's bohemian past. Join Frank Everhart, a nearly 30-year Key West resident, on a walking tour where you'll uncover the secrets of legendary figures, millionaires, and families. As you stroll among crumbling graves, spot descendants of Cuban cockfighting roosters and sun-bleached iguanas. Hear stories of the 1846 hurricane, the Freemasons, and the USS Maine Memorial, whose victims' deaths sparked the Spanish-American War. The 75-minute tour starts at the main entrance, passing through the Jewish B'Nai Zion Cemetery, where you'll learn to decipher gravestone symbols.

Q&A

Q: Is this tour suitable for kids? What's the age limit?

A: While there’s no official age limit, I'd say it’s best for kids 10 and up. The stories include some historical events that might go over younger kids' heads, plus the cemetery vibe might be a bit much for little ones. If your kids are curious about history and can handle a little ghostly lore, they’ll probably enjoy it!

Q: Can I reschedule the tour if plans change?

A: Yes! Since it’s a self-guided tour, you can start it whenever you want. Once you download the audio and maps, it’s yours for life! So if your plans change, just reschedule your visit as you see fit.

Q: What’s the weather like in Key West? Should I worry about cancellations?

A: The tour is outdoors, so weather can be a factor. Key West is usually warm and sunny, but summer storms can pop up. If there’s severe weather, you’d want to check local updates, but generally, it’s pretty straightforward. I'd suggest bringing a hat and sunscreen just in case!
