Ernest Hemingway Home & Museum
Arts & Culture · Key West, FL
About
Unlike typical writer's homes that feel like sterile archives, the Ernest Hemingway Home & Museum in Key West is lively with over forty polydactyl cats roaming the grounds. This museum in Old Town offers guided tours through rooms where Hemingway wrote some of his most famous works. The lush gardens and quirky cat residents give it a whimsical feel. It's open daily from 9am to 5pm. Regulars know mornings are quieter before crowds peak. You'll want to check the weather, as much of the tour is outdoors. If you're exploring queer arts in Key West, nearby Tropic Cinema often screens independent films with LGBTQ+ programming.
