Crane Point Museum & Nature Center

Crane Point Museum and Nature Center is located in Marathon right on the Overseas highway.  Find some time to explore the peaceful environs of the Keys wile hiking one of the trails on Crane Point.  Explore the Hammock loop with signs helping you to identify the trees you will see on the path or the Butterfly Meadow trail with native plants that attract zebra longwings, gulf fritillaries and swallowtails.  Visit the historic Adderley House which is the oldest house in the Keys outside of Key West.  See how early settlers of the Keys cooked, farmed and made their living. Learn how the area, later known as Adderley Town, attracted other Bahamians to the Keys.  For a picturesque walk at Sunset, try the walk around Crane Point or the Sunset Boardwalk that follows along the shoreline. Be sure to learn about the rescue work down here at the Marathon Wild Bird Center.
