Hemingway Home and Museum: 907 Whitehead St, Key West, Florida, USA

Key West was Hemingway’s home for eight years between 1931 and 1939. Even though he moved on after, he retained the title of the house until his death.

Hemingway wrote several of his novels (or at least parts of them) during his time in Key West, including For Whom the Bell Tolls, Death in the Afternoon, The Green Hills of Africa, and several short stories including “The Snows of Kilimanjaro”.
