From the marker at the entrance to the garden:
Taking the lead from the many Key Westers vitally concerned with the history of our island and committed to creating a legacy to future generations, the Key West City Commission set aside a permanent park site for the Key West Historic Memorial Sculpture Garden.
Located on the original shoreline (in front of the Waterfront Playhouse and adjacent to the Key West Chamber of Commerce) in Mallory Square, the sculpture garden opened in September 1997. It features 36 magnificently cast bronze busts of the men and women who have had the greatest impact on Key West. The garden retells the story of the island to over 1,000,000 visitors a year.
There are 36 busts in this garden, each with a plaque that tells their importance to Key West. Take some time to walk through and learn more about this historic area.
