Where does the Trolly Tour Stop?

[Attack Dog]

Where does the Old Town Trolly Tour Stop in Key West? I'm mainly interested in Margaritaville, Hemmingway's House, Kermit's, and maybe the Pirate Museum.

 

I was also thinking of renting a golf cart while I'm there instead of taking the Trolly Tour. Has anyone done this and would you recommend renting a golf cart instead of taking the Trolly?

These sites may help you while in my hometown of Key West - I will be there this weekend to visit friends and family.

Also I would like to share a little tidbit with you about the lighthouse on Whitehead Street.

The first lighthouse was a wooden structure built in 1825 on the SW side of our island near Fort Taylor and was destroyed in 1846 by a damaging hurricane. The same year the present one was built and originally only 66ft high and then raised to 115 ft with a spiral staircase of 117 steps. There is so much history of loyalty and interesting dramatic stories of families associated with the lighthouse. In 1939 the Coast Guard operated the facilities until it was released for operations as a museum by the Key West Art & Historial Society. I went up the lighthouse for the first time in my life about 15 years ago and had a problem with getting dizzy - there once was a large tennis court on the property which my mom played at in the 1920's -

Anyhow just thought I would share some history about KW with you.

Always

Thanks Shirley for your thought and effort. I'll be looking at your links soon.

We took the Trolley Tour last week when we were there. It was so extremely hot that no one was getting off the trolley. But it is an hour and a half long tour and well worth the money. I've been to Key West several times and I learned a lot of new things I didn't know. It was an awesome time.

If you don't want to do the Trolley, all the places you are interested in seeing are within easy walking distance. I wouldn't rent a golf cart or electric car -- I would think it would be a pain worrying about finding parking for those things.

Thank you Monica and Beth. My wife and I are in good shape so walking isn't a problem. We were only thinking of a way to see as much of Key West as quickly as possible since we only have 6 hours. We have been to Key West before and it was fun but we don't feel like we saw much on our earlier visits.

In Jan. 2008, we will be in port from 4pm to 10pm. Does the trolley run at night? Is there much to see? Mom can not walk more than a block.

 

What do you recommend we do in Key West?
