February 8, 2022 Dorsey Hagwood

Six islands in the Florida Keys comprise the village of Islamorada, known for its prime sport fishing. Rent a boat or participate in a guided tour to fish, snorkel, or swim with marine life. Fresh seafood is the hallmark of the Islamorada dining scene. Visit a tropical-themed bar to soak in the full Florida Keys experience with a frozen umbrella drink. For a dose of culture, take in fine art and music while strolling through the Morada Way Art and Cultural District.

Old Road Gallery

An Art Gallery featuring resident artists Dwayne & Cindy King as well as other local Keys artists. An attached workshop where visitors can watch Dwayne & Cindy create and a tropical hardwood garden with winding pathways adorned with sculptures and surprises.

Reviewed By Gizzards

Old Road Gallery is at Mileage Marker 88.8. It is an art studio owned by Dwayne King (copper & brass) and Cindy King (pottery) They also have on display several other artists products. The store is small, but packed with beautiful one-of-a-kind items. Cindy gave us a tour and suggested we visit the gardens. We really enjoyed the Sculpture Garden - full of wonderfully whimsical corners with functional seating, broken pottery pieces and several of the neighbors roosters & chickens! I inquired about a ceramic butter bell and there was one, but I already had one that was similar. I ended up purchasing aSecret Wooden Box for $18.00. Definitely stop in and be sure to see the garden!

Reviewed By floridabae

Lots to see and learn! Wide range of artifacts from Native Americans to mid-1900’s, Flagler railroad history and a documentary about the devastating 1935 hurricane are the tip of the iceberg. COVID safety measures such as complimentary stylus provided to explore touch-screen exhibits. Coral tanks are fun for kids of all ages.
