Nice peaceful bike ride thru the cemetery. So much like in New Orleans, very well kept. So many large family plots. Just very interesting to look at all the unique burial sites

On our last day in Key West, my wife and I happened upon this cemetery. An informative map points out the final resting spots of some historical people. There's also some humor, believe it or not, at Key West Cemetery. The gravesite of a hypochondriac reads, "I told you I was sick!" Another notes, "I'm only resting my eyes."

Went on an guided tour featuring 6 featured graves from the 1800’s. Hosted by the Historic Society, our group of 15 was escorted through the winding paths to the next host who told the history of the buried person, showing laminated illustrations to enhance the presentation. For a $20 fee, we learned so much about the founding characters of early Key West. Took 90 minutes, and felt like a proud local instead of a tourist, as our group was made up of resident conchs!
