Jones Family Historic District, historic district in the Biscayne National Park, Florida, United States

The Jones Family Historic District sits on two small islands, Porgy Key and Totten Key, within Biscayne National Park. The area includes former homes, farm buildings, and land where the family grew fruits, vegetables, pineapples, and lime trees.

Israel Lafayette Jones bought Porgy Key in 1897 and farmed it with his wife Mozelle and their children. After a hurricane ruined many pineapple growers, he acquired Totten Key and turned to lime growing. The family sold land to the government in 1970, and the district was listed on the National Register in 2014.

The district tells the story of an African-American family who achieved success despite facing major obstacles in the early 1900s. The preserved buildings and farming areas show today how the Joneses built their life on the islands and stayed deeply connected to the water.

The district covers Porgy Key and Totten Key inside Biscayne National Park, south of Islandia; there are no roads, so access is by private boat from the park's mainland waters. The keys are low, flat and open to wind and sun, with no docks or facilities, so bring water, sun protection and a way to land safely.

Lancelot Jones, one of the family's sons, was a well-known guide who fished with Presidents Herbert Hoover and Lyndon Johnson. He was allowed to live in the family home for the rest of his life, bridging the early island history with the modern era.
