In the early 20th century, Ernest Hemingway was one of the most famous writers in America. His short stories and novels were read all over the world, and he was also known as a lover of fine food, drink, and women. Hemingway's life in Key West is documented by his home and museum here in the city. The museum features photos of some of his most famous works as well as memorabilia from his life. The house itself is an attractive building with a white exterior and green shutters. The museum's home, built in 1851, was purchased by Hemingway in 1931. He lived there with his wife Pauline for 10 years before moving to Cuba in 1940. The couple divorced and Hemingway returned to Key West, where he lived until 1961.
The museum offers tours of the house and garden as well as an exhibit on Hemingway's history in Key West. Visitors can see a rare collection of manuscripts and personal items from the author's life. When you're looking for an authentic, old-school experience on your next vacation, you have to go to Key West. The Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum is one of the most famous sites in the area, and is sure to provide an authentic slice of American history. If you're a fan of the writer, or simply want to see where he wrote some of his most famous works, the Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum is a must-see while in Key West.
From the moment you walk through the doors of this museum, you'll feel as if you've been transported back in time to when Hemingway lived here. The furnishings are original and have been kept just as they were when he was living there: from his desk to his typewriter and even his bed, you'll get a sense of what it was like for this famous author to live in such a beautiful space. The Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum is your ticket to all-night revelry. It's located in the heart of Old Town, which means it's surrounded by bars and clubs that never close or shut their doors. From the front door of this historic landmark, you can walk straight into a bar like Margaritaville or Sloppy Joe's. Or you can take a stroll along Duval Street and find yourself at an open-air bar with live music, and maybe even a fire show.
