For being such a significant element in the development of the Keys, we had thought there would be a larger building and display - but the information they have packed into this railroad car is very interesting and informative. Well worth your time to read, learn and appreciate the effort taken to build the railroad and the impacts it has... More

Actually, I think this is not closed. They build this in a not original location with a not original building just as a tourist trap. Forget it. Nothing realy about it More

Nice little museum, with a scaled-down replica of how the workers built the former Overseas Railroad from the mainland down to the Keys! More

We liked what we saw...there was a video and then a self-guided tour of a single room. The exhibits were informative, we just wished that Key West did more to not only document the Key West expansion of the railway, but the building of the overseas highway, the improvements made to that in the 1980s, and the impact of those...
