Heading south to the Florida Keys with the family on your next weekend adventure? How about stopping at Pigeon Key, a five-acre island that has tons of history and natural beauty? But what’s more, is that this island offers an open-air train ride in Florida that is out of this world. Climb aboard the Pigeon Key Express and see the best of what this island has to offer.
If you’ve never explored Pigeon Key, then this is your chance to do so - but in style. The island, which sits under the Old 7 Mile Bridge, dates back to the early 1900s when workers who were in the midst of building the Florida Coast Railway Key West Extension would camp.
This five-acre island is listed on the National Register of Historic Places for this reason, among others such as the historic buildings that still remain on the island.
One of the best ways to see the island and learn all about its history is through the Pigeon Key Express, an open-air train ride that the whole family will love.
