Key West Southernmost City- Information

This little island is the southernmost point in the continental United states. There many markers and monuments on the island to let everyone know they've arrived to the Southernmost City. The most visited monument on the island by far is the large buoy like marker that officially marks the southernmost point. The marker reads: 90 miles to Cuba and The Southernmost point. Vacationers line up daily rain or shine to take a photograph next to the marker as souvenir. There's also famous mile marker zero which is nearby. All over the United States there are mile marker to let travelers know where they are. There is only one mile marker zero however. Nearby these famous markers and monument is the Southernmost House. The Southernmost House was built in 1896 for a cost of $250,000 (approximately $6 million today) by Judge J. Vining Harris, who married into the prominent Curry family. In 1939 the Ramos family purchased the property, which had been converted into a Cuban nightclub called Café Cayo Hueso (Bone Island Café), for $49,000. In 1954 it was converted back into a residence and remained so until 1996 when a $3 million restoration began to turn it into a 13-room hotel, with a museum on the first floor. Today 43 U.S. presidential signatures are on display including William Henry Harrison's, which is a rare piece of historic memorabilia, as is President Johnson's original swearing-in statement. The Ernest Hemingway room boasts a large collection of written memorabilia including letters to friends, relatives, and professional acquaintances. Artifacts and treasure salvaged by Whitey Keevan from the shipwreck of a Spanish galleon are also on display and for sale. The house is a work of architectural wonder. The grounds are magnificent with glorious tropical gardens, a zero-entry pool, an antique wooden bar from Carson City, Nevada and four resident southernmost rabbits that delight guests with occasional visits. A Tiffany stained-glass canopy, originally made for an Italian villa, now makes an idyllic setting for wedding and commitment ceremonies. Exterior paint colors are authentic, as are elegant crown moldings, ceiling medallions, ornamental woodwork and friezes, which were originally painted white, but have been redone in splashy shades reminiscent of its days as a Cuban nightclub. There's also the southernmost beach nearby. Many locals will tell you this is the best beach on the island. It offers a small cove, a beachside restaurant and very nice white sand. The water is shallow for a very long distance from the beach making for easy swimming or wading in the water. with cruise ships, yachts and jet skies going by, it's a great place to relax and watch the day go buy. Chair rentals are available on the beach and cocktails can be served to you right on the beach. It's hard to beat. The southernmost hotel and a few other lodging establishments surround this piece of tropical paradise. if you want to go any further south, you'll have to leave the United States.
