Gave information on the Labor Day Storm and the devastation it brought. Great visit while taking a bike ride from the Cheeca Lodge.

Its quite interesting to stop and take a breath and think about the devastation that nature can cause. The memorial is done really well with a very well done relief on the front of palm trees bending in the wind.

Just a quick stop to observe the monument on our way to Key Largo. It's right on US 1.Realy sad to think of all those who lost their lives, it was a great way to honor them

Stopped here with a friend from out of state. Honestly I had never noticed it before she asked to stop. Now I notice it each time I pass but there's nothing incredible to see. There is a marker that gives information on the memorial, but it's nothing enormous or breath taking. A short stop is all you will need to... More

Cool and fun to learn about the history of the keys and how it was handled. Nice to see things remembered and to learn about the hurricane houses. Worth the stop if your interested in this sort of thing. There's a lot of it down here.

There is a small book called The Railroad That Died At Sea. I lend it to any of my friends that are visiting the keys. It makes the trip so much more meaningful.

It's well worth a stop at the Hurricane Monument on Islamorada to give some thought to the some 400+ souls who are interred at that spot, who died in the worst hurricane on the Keys to date. Whilst we enjoy the sunshine and beaches, give a few moments to consider the vagaries of the weather and the bad luck these... More

Beautiful monument to the victims of the 1935 hurricane that decimated the area. Signs give historical overview of the area, including information about the veteran workforce and the WPA. Monument has interrred remains of several victims. Good parking and whellchair accessible.
