On Wednesday, September 6 from 10am -11am, Key West Art & Historical Society Curator Cori Convertito, Ph.D., will offer a special curator-led tour of The Society's renovated Custom House Museum exhibit
"
Overseas to the Keys: Henry Flagler's Overseas Railway." The permanent exhibit celebrates an important part of Florida Keys history and the incredible engineering feat that joined mainland Florida to Key West- an overseas train they said couldn't be done.
Convertito will guide guests through a detailed look at some of the historic and unique treasures currently occupying the permanent exhibit located on the second floor and the reasons they were selected for the exhibition, including: the original railroad car that debuted in the 2012 exhibit that transports visitors back to the early 1900s when Key West first connected to mainland Florida; Flagler's development of Florida's east coast and how his railway leapfrogged across the Florida Keys all the way to Key West; an oversized map of the Florida Keys; home video shot from the railroad in the 1920s; and newly acquired objects and ephemera from The Society's permanent collection.
The July 28 Champagne Reception with Tom Hambright at The Custom House for the addition of the 1874 Painting "The Virginius Affair" for the Exhibition "The Navy in KW" was really interesting . The August 13 Issue had a Feature :
