Ernest Hemingway’s wife, Pauline Pfeiffer, had an uncle who bought them that famous 907 Whitehead Street home in 1931 as a wedding present. After  moving in, Ernest had a swimming pool installed for $20,000 dollars, which is $250,000 in modern values. The amount was so great that Hemingway is rumored to have put a penny into the wet concrete, saying, “Here! Take the last penny I’ve got!” The penny is still there. Go see for yourself!

The beautiful pool at the Hemingway House!

Ever been to Ernest Hemingway’s house and seen one of the famous polydactyl cats? In other words, the cats with six or seven toes on their paws. While Hemingway lived in his 907 Whitehead Street house, he cared for his beloved cat Snowball, whose offspring still roam Ernest’s home’s walls. They are so special and loved by Key West that the Key West City Commission exempted the Hemingway house from the law that prohibits having more than four domestic animals in one home.

Look at it’s many toes! How would you like to be swiped at with those paws?

The Tea Party Movement Logo

The Boston Tea Party is an international symbol of American patriotism and independence. It’s had influence on many American political movements… especially the Tea Party Movement! This movement began in 2009, which is nearly 238 years after the Boston Tea Party. Those involved in this movement advocate for a better system for decreasing American national debt and the federal budget deficit. They hope to do this by reducing US governmental spending and taxes. Neat, huh?
