Pigeon Key, Historic district in Monroe County, Florida, United States.
The 5-acre Pigeon Key contains eleven historic buildings and three structures connected to the mainland by the old Seven Mile Bridge.
The island operated as a railroad village housing over 400 workers during the construction of the Overseas Railway to Key West from 1908 to 1912.
The Pigeon Key Foundation maintains a museum in the former Assistant Bridge Tender's House, displaying artifacts from the Florida East Coast Railway period.
Visitors can reach the island through ferry services departing from Marathon, as the old Seven Mile Bridge reopened for pedestrian access in 2022.
The University of Miami utilized Pigeon Key as an environmental research station for two decades starting in 1968, studying tropical marine ecosystems.
