Pigeon Key Historic District
Pigeon Key Historic District, Former railroad construction base in Monroe County, United States.
The Pigeon Key Historic District contains eleven buildings and three structures spread across a five-acre island beneath the Seven Mile Bridge.
The island served as the foundation headquarters during the construction of Henry Flagler's Florida East Coast Railway extension to Key West between 1908 and 1912.
The district includes a railroad museum featuring original artifacts, photographs, and documents that illustrate the development of transportation in the Florida Keys.
Visitors can reach the island by walking or cycling across the restored Old Seven Mile Bridge or taking a passenger train from the mainland depot.
The entire island operates on solar power through an array system that generates ninety-five percent of its electrical requirements with battery storage backup.
