"The Key West Art & Historical Society impresses before you even step inside: the museum is located within Key West’s iconic Custom House, a grand, four-story, red brick building built in 1891 and once the city’s post office. As it’s located in Mallory Square, a popular spot with tourists, it’s a well-known institution (so plan your trip accordingly). The permanent collection is comprised of an impressive 35,000 pieces that tell a part of the area’s history, with everything from postcards to photos to textiles on display, including a number of paintings from playwright Tennessee Williams." - Jennifer M.
