Lignumvitae Key Botanical State Park

Lignumvitae Key Botanical State Park protects a virgin tropical hardwood hammock on an island off Islamorada that you can reach only by boat or kayak. The caretaker's home William J. Matheson built in 1919, with its windmill, is now the visitor center, and a self-guided tour brochure covers the grounds.
