Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum/Boat Replica























The Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum is located in Old Town Key West at 907 Whitehead Street(http://www.hemingwayhome.com/). This building was home to Hemingway for ten years and is where he did a lot of his writing.

The property is beautiful with lush gardens, and its intersting to see where the author went hard to work.

If you're looking to learn and see more of Hemingway's life in the Florida Keys, then its also worthwhile to stop by the Islamorada Fishing Co. on Islamorada Key. Apart from being a sport fishing goods store, inside it houses the replica of Hemingway's beloved boat. It may not sound too interesting to some, but its a gorgeous darkwood boat which are hard to see anymore, with a beautiful cabin that you can go inside to see the living quarters, including the desk and chair he used to write his pieces while at sea.
