Review:
Considering the wonderful weather and superb location, it is unsurprising that one of America’s most honored authors fell in love with Key West and called the island home for more than 10 years. Ernest Hemingway drew inspiration from the remote and beautiful island and bought a Spanish colonial-style home here that was originally built in 1851. Ernest and his wife Pauline extensively renovated the old home, restoring it to its original charm and adding the exceptional luxury (in those days) of a swimming pool and lovely gardens. Today, visitors can go on a guided tour of the Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum, which has been exceptionally well preserved as a museum and contains much of the original furniture and fittings.
Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum, 907 Whitehead St, Key West, FL 33040, Phone: 305-294-1136
