A Closer Look

Labeled sites include the Hemingway House, Audubon House, Little White House (where presidents from William Howard Taft through John F. Kennedy spent time, but President Truman spent the most time - 175 days), Fort Taylor, and the Southernmost Point in the continental United States. Commercial establishments, among them the Days Inn and Travelodge, and Ramada Inn are identified as well, along with numerous restaurants, shops, and the Lighthouse Museum. Several Conch Train Tours appear throughout the town, an attraction that visitors to Key West can still enjoy.
