A century ago, in the days of railroad expansion, oilman and hotelier Henry Morrison Flagler built an over-water railroad from southern Florida to Key West. Today, people drive about 100 miles over a causeway to Key West. A couple of days ago, Key West — so changed and still so compelling.

Key West has a reputation as a party town, so it's no surprise that the city threw a good one for the 100th anniversary of the Flagler Railroad.
