But Did You Also Know?

 

Capt. Tony's building was used

as the first morgue on the island.

The coroner buried his daughter

under the floor in what is now

the pool room. She is still there!

 

 
 
The tree growing inside the

bar was the official Key West

"Hanging Tree"..... 75 people

were hanged from that tree.

The tombstone at it's base

does not mark a real grave

 

Capt. Tony's is reported to be haunted.

Legend has it, that one of the executed,

a woman accused of killing her husband

and child, can be seen frequenting the

bar, wearing the same nightgown

in which she was hanged.
