The Hemingway Home and Museum, Key West

About The Hemingway Home and Museum

The Hemingway Home and Museum displays six-toed cats descended from Snow White, a white cat given to Ernest Hemingway by a ship's captain, roaming the grounds among exhibits about the Nobel Prize-winning author's life. Visitors take guided tours lasting twenty to thirty minutes that explore the home's rooms, including the living room with its display of photos from Hemingway's fishing adventures aboard the Pilar. The museum shop stocks mementos tied to Hemingway's life and Key West's artistic community, from calendars to postcards. The museum is open daily from nine in the morning to five in the afternoon, with tours departing every fifteen minutes starting at nine-fifteen. Walk-in visits require no reservation and tickets are purchased at the main gate. Children five and younger enter free, while admission for older children and adults is published online. The Hemingway Home and Museum is located in Key West, Florida.
