Review:
The natural beauty and rich history of Key West collide at the Fort Zachary Taylor Beach . A unique and one-of-a-kind destination in the southern end of Key West, the fort has stood the test of time having predated even the Civil War. Today, this National Historic Monument is home to the world’s largest collection of Civil War armament such as cannons, gun ports, and more. Guests can visit the red-brick pathways of the fort to see history come to life, while guided tours paint a vivid picture of what life must have been like for the soldiers bravely defending the country’s southern coast. Learn all about Fort Taylor’s critical role in the Civil War and the Spanish-American War through local re-enactments and historic demonstrations that run regularly at this state park.
Address: Fort Zachary Taylor Beach , 601 Howard England Way, Key West, Florida 33040
