Hemingway's Home on Key West

Hometown Hero

No visit to Key West is complete without a tour of author Ernest “Papa” Hemingway’s home ($12 adults, $6 ages 6–17; 305/294-1136 or hemingwayhome.com), where he penned For Whom the Bell Tolls and Death in the Afternoon. Visitors come as much for the 50 descendents of the author’s own six-toed felines as the tales of Hemingway’s philandering, drinking, and literary habits.
