#FloridaFriday: The #Florida Keys are a favorite #vacation destination for many, for many reasons. Fishing, historical and ecological tourism, and novelty. Road access to the Keys was not available for many years, though Henry Flagler and Clarence Cloe had build a railroad #bridge.
After extensive damage from a #hurricane, the #railroad sold the bridge to the federal #government, which rebuilt it as a #road bridge.
Then in 1982, the old bridge was made redundant by a new one. Parts of the old bridge are preserved, such as this #pedestrian access to #Pidgeon Key, home of #museums and a location on the #NationalRegisterOfHistoricPlaces.
