Ernest Hemingway home

Location: Key West, Florida The Hemingway House, one of Key West's most popular spots, was once the home of the celebrated American author, who lived here for more than a decade. You can wander around the largely preserved rooms and tour the lush, lovely gardens. The home is filled with Hemingway memorabilia—photos, books, and furniture—that played a part in his South Florida life. There are free guided tours every 30 minutes. Entrance to the museum is by cash only, no credit cards accepted. $17 for adults, $7 for children. I got to know about Ernest Hemingway when I was traveling in Cuba years ago and visited one of his favourite bars in Havana.
