- Annual Cemetery Strolls in Partnership with the Historic Florida Keys Foundation
This season, the final Cemetery Stroll was offered at the Historic Key West Cemetery in March. During the stroll, visitors in small groups walk with a group leader to the gravesites, where site presenters were stationed to tell a short story about the deceased in brief monologues.
We had a great lineup for the March event:
The City of Key West and the Historic Florida Keys Foundation sponsor cemetery strolls.
