“Interesting history”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 8, 2013

Past by this museum while biking down A1A along water. Interesting building and history. Didn't get to go inside so can't speak to what's inside.

“OK For Historical View”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 3, 2013

A self-guided tour of a civil war era fort with other exhibits inside including "Robert" the doll highlighted on the ghost tour. A good way to spend an extra hour on the island.

“Went at night on a tour...alone!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 31, 2013

My husband and I went on the Ghosts & Gravestones Tour which took us to the Martello...at night, by ourselves. We had such a spooky great time. It was cool to finally meet Robert after hearing so much about him. We took tons of pics of "orbs" in the main yard. It is very well kept up and the displays are pretty cool. Be prepared to be a little creeped out and leave the little ones at home if you go at night

“Must See - History & Art”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 27, 2013

Drove from "Old Town" to East Martello to find FREE parking. The facility is filled with works of various artists. Mario Sanchez is fantastic. The fort has a history of it's own. Many varied displays of life of another Key West age will fill out your tour. Do use the Tower stairs to see a lovely view. Do not miss Robert the Doll - my wife deposited a "wish coin" with Robert wishing the
Baltimore Ravens go to the Super Bowl. Guess what! You know the answer. Many neat items in the gift shop. Take your time & enjoy.
