A Literary Escape with a Feline Twist: Touring the Hemingway Home in Key West
海明威故居与博物馆的点评
点评：If you’re headed to Key West and only have time for one attraction, make it the Ernest Hemingway Home & Museum. Tucked in the heart of Old Town, this lush, Spanish Colonial gem offers more than just a glimpse into the life of one of America’s greatest writers—it’s an unforgettable experience that delights all the senses.
The tour feels like stepping into a well-written novel. You’re instantly enveloped by the thick tropical greenery, the scent of citrus in the air, and the undeniable charm of a bygone era. The house itself is a stunning showcase of period furniture, original art, and Hemingway’s famously robust personality. Each room tells a story, from his writing studio perched above the old carriage house to the grand master bedroom that overlooks the gardens.
And then—there are the cats. Oh, the cats. Dozens of them, descendants of Hemingway’s original six-toed feline friend, lounging like royalty across the property. You’ll even get to see some making biscuits on 100 year old furniture! Then, see them nap under the shade of swaying palms, see others stroll confidently through the rooms as if they, too, have a Pulitzer on the shelf. These polydactyl celebrities are more than pets; they’re legends in their own right.
One of the most entertaining parts of the tour comes with a little-known family tale: our charming guide shared that, contrary to popular myth, Pauline’s Uncle Gus didn’t start Pfizer Pharmaceuticals. No, no—that’s a different family- he proudly founded Pfeeifer Pharmaceuticals, a smaller company based out of Atlanta.
Whether you’re a literature buff, a history lover, or just a cat enthusiast, the Hemingway Home offers a magical blend of all three. It’s an enchanting step back in time that somehow feels current—alive with the energy of stories still waiting to be told. A must-see, five-star experience, and yes—you will leave wanting to write a novel and adopt a six-toed cat.

翻译：如果您要前往基韦斯特，但时间有限，那就去参观一个景点吧，那就是欧内斯特·海明威故居和博物馆。这座郁郁葱葱的西班牙殖民时期瑰宝坐落在老城区的中心地带，不仅可以让您一睹美国最伟大的作家之一的生活，而且是一次令人难忘的体验，让您所有的感官都愉悦不已。
游览感觉就像走进一本写得很好的小说。您会立刻被浓密的热带植物、空气中柑橘的香味和过去时代不可否认的魅力所包围。这座房子本身就是一个令人惊叹的展示，展示了时代家具、原创艺术和海明威著名的坚强个性。每个房间都讲述了一个故事，从他位于旧马车房上方的写作工作室到俯瞰花园的豪华主卧室。
还有猫。哦，猫。几十只猫，都是海明威最初的六趾猫朋友的后代，像皇室一样在整个庄园里悠闲地休息。您甚至可以看到一些动物在 100 年历史的家具上制作饼干！然后，看到它们在摇曳的棕榈树荫下打盹，看到其他人自信地在房间里漫步，仿佛它们架子上也有普利策奖。这些多指名人不仅仅是宠物；他们本身就是传奇人物。
这次旅行最有趣的部分之一是鲜为人知的家族故事：我们迷人的导游告诉我们，与流行的传说相反，保琳的叔叔格斯并没有创办辉瑞制药公司。不，不——那是另一个家庭——他自豪地创立了 Pfeeifer Pharmaceuticals，一家总部位于亚特兰大的小型公司。
无论您是文学爱好者、历史爱好者还是猫迷，海明威故居都能将这三者神奇地融合在一起。这是一次迷人的时光倒流，不知何故感觉很现代——充满了等待讲述的故事的能量。这是一次不容错过的五星级体验，而且，是的——您离开后会想写一本小说并收养一只六趾猫。
