& Overseas Railway Historium

| Flagler Station - "The Eighth Wonder
of the World" |
In 1905 Henry Flagler, one of the wealthiest men in the world, announced
his plan to build a railway from Miami to Key West. Some laughed, some
scoffed, and most agreed that it could not be done.
Eight years, three hurricanes, thirty million dollars, and hundreds of
lives lost, Flagler proved them wrong.
Visit the museum and experience the thrill of riding down the Florida
Keys in 1929 aboard the "railway that went to the sea". Learn
about the Key West Extension, and the tragic demise of Flagler's dream
in the devestating Labor Day hurricane of 1935.
Located on the corner of Caroline Street and Margaret Street.
