Pigeon Cay Historic District
Pigeon Key is a historic five-acre island located in Marathon, Florida, recognized for its significant role in the development of the Florida Keys. Once a home base for railroad workers during the construction of the Old Seven Mile Bridge, the island is now a preserved site featuring modest wood-frame structures painted in Flagler's trademark yellow.
Managed by the non-profit Pigeon Key Foundation, the island has undergone a renaissance, including the transformation of one building into a railroad museum showcasing artifacts from the Florida East Coast Railway. Committed to sustainability, Pigeon Key has transitioned to solar power, significantly reducing its environmental footprint while educating visitors about its rich heritage.
