Florida - Friends of the Old Seven

The remaining Florida Keys Overseas Highway and Flagler Railroad Bridges, completed in 1912 were listed on the National Registry on August 3, 2004, which includes all 23 Bridges and is an important aspect of the Florida Keys Overseas Heritage Trail Project, bringing National recognition and prestige to our community.

The rehabilitation of the Flagler Railroad Bridges and the 2 mile segment of the old 7 Mile span to Pigeon Key, will ensure the survival of these monuments of the Florida Key's Rich Railroad and Cultural History. Rehabilitating the old 7 Mile Bridge, which is the only means of access to Historic Pigeon Key, is part of the "Community Vision" that will preserve the Historical Bridge as a part of a Scenic Multi-use Recreational Greenway that permits various forms of outdoor exercise, as well as sightseeing, fishing, kayaking, and spectacular sunsets and scenic views. The Old Seven Mile Bridge was once considered the Eighth Wonder of the World.
