About Oldest House Museum & Tom Majors Garden

The museum occupies one of Key West's oldest residences and pairs it with a lush tropical garden named for Tom Majors. Visitors explore the house and grounds at their own pace using a self-guided mobile tour that comes with every ticket. The site is also used for private events such as weddings and corporate gatherings. It is operated and maintained by the Old Island Restoration Foundation, a preservation group founded in 1960 to protect Key West's architecture and heritage. Each year it hosts the Key West Home Tours, a set of docent-guided self-paced weekend tours held monthly from December through March.
