Description
The Key West lighthouse opened in 1848 with a woman as its Keeper; nearly unheard of during the 19th century. In the years following, the Key West Lighthouse underwent a number of upgrades including the installation of a Third Order Fresnel Lens, an extension to the tower which allowed the light to be seen from a greater distance, the addition of Keeper’s Quarters, and finally the electrification of the light. -KWAHS
The lighthouse and keeper's house are a wonderful place to visit. Make sure you walk up the 88 steps to the top, like this old man did, to see a great view of Key West.
