Audubon House is across the street from Mel fisher's. Just keep in mind, Audubon did not live here, although his works are on the walls. There is a docent on the ground floor to give you the history of the home. The 2nd & 3rd...More
Beautiful air conditioned interiors. Lush tropical gardens. Interesting shop. Good selection of Audubon prints.
The home and gardens alone are worth the entry price, but the historical artifacts artwork, and refences are a hidden gem that needs to be seen to be believed. There is a historical residence with a short tour that explains a lot, most of all...More
Thank you for leaving a perfect review and explanation of the property and grounds! We appreciate you taking the time and hope you enjoyed your Key West visit!
This house was owned by a collector of Audobon's drawings, many of which are on display. You can see what a wealthy wrecker's home looked like, as well as learn about the island's history and view Audobon's drawing. Probably worth the entry free, but my...More
We are sorry that you ended up confused as to the Audubon connection to the property. The former owner of the home was not a collector of Audubon's work, but a master wrecker here in Key West. The connection is Audubon using a branch of...More
While the house was beautiful and very well done it really had nothing to do with Audubon. Yes they did have a good number of his prints exhibited but he never lived, painted or even was to the house. Yes he did use one of...More
We are sorry the house didn't meet your expectations regarding the Audubon history. Most true Audubon fans know that he didn't live in Key West, but his visit was important in that he documented 22 new birds, some being the most iconic pieces he ever...More
We didn't expect to visit but when we did a very kind man at the gift shop led the way and when I mentioned my son is writing a book and is quite a 9 year old naturalist, after the tour he had a book...More
We are so glad that you and your son enjoyed the property! It's wonderful to see kids interested in nature and history as well. Thank you so much for the lovely review and we hope to see you back here some day!
A pricey tour that wasn't worth it . He never even lived there or painted in the gardens! Take a walk around the outside it is pretty.More
We're sorry to hear the property didn't meet your expectations. As most who research the property in advance find out, Audubon did not live in the house, but visited the island. There is a connection to the property through one of his paintings, and we...More
This place was an interesting combination. It's a historical house, and (rather unrelated) it is a museum in honor of Audubon. The two are not very well related, as the tour guide admitted. There is some evidence that Audubon visited the site, but that's not...More
Thank you for leaving a positive review of the museum! Yes, the Audubon connection is less than most expect, but it was used as an excuse to preserve the property and to commemorate his visit to the Keys. We are happy you enjoyed his work...More
If you're in the mood for touring another beautiful historic home in Old Town, the Audubon House is much less crowded than the Hemingway Home, and just as full of history. The gardens are cool and lovely, and you can spend time in the house...More
Thank you for your review of the property! We are always happy to hear that people are enjoying historic Key West, and experiencing the different homes and museums. We're glad you enjoyed our relaxed pace and hope you had a lovely trip!
We have had quite a few visits to Key West and as we walked by Audubon House recently finally chose to come in. We were familar with and admired Audubon's work but were surprised his output was as massive as it was. We enjoyed your...More
We are so pleased you decided to stop in and see us on this visit! And yes, he was an amazingly prolific artist, and it does surprise quite a few people when they realize all he accomplished. Thank you for sharing your review and we...More
