"Fun with the Family"

Still in its developmental stages, it makes for a most interesting historical attraction that you can reach by bike or foot, or via a tram from the Visitors Center, housed in a vintage railroad car. You can see the tiny key as you cross the bridge, but you can reach it only by the old bridge, which allows no car traffic. The key is significant for the role it played during the building of the railroad in 1905 and for its surviving Bahamian architecture. The museum, occupying the assistant bridge tender’s house, holds old postcards, paintings, photographs, and memorabilia.
