About Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park
Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park, often called “Fort Zach,” is a Florida State Park and National Historic Landmark centered on a 19th‑century U.S. Army coastal fort at the southern tip of Key West, Florida. The park combines a well‑preserved Civil War–era fort and military exhibits with one of Key West’s most popular beaches, offering swimming, snorkeling, fishing, picnicking, birding, walking trails, and a concession area with food and equipment rentals.

A charge labeled something like “historic Key West park” on your card is very likely related to admission or parking fees processed at Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park’s entrance station, or purchases from its on‑site café, equipment rental, or gift/concession operations. Visitors pay per‑vehicle or per‑person entrance fees, and additional charges can appear for items such as chair and umbrella rentals, snorkel gear, food and beverages, or special event site fees (for example, weddings or private functions) inside the park.
