The Audubon House & Tropical Gardens offer a relaxing, educational environment for families and visitors of all ages. Slated for demolition in 1958, the house was saved by the Mitchell Wolfson Family Foundation. The Foundation is a nonprofit educational institution. This was the first restoration project in Key West, and is still considered the gem of the island's restoration movement. A visit to the Audubon House & Tropical Gardens is an exploration into local history and folklore, while the gardens offer a lush one-acre view of tropical foliage. You will enjoy viewing the works of John James Audubon, world renown ornithologist. There are many first and second edition Audubon works in the house. Wander through nearly one acre of tropical gardens featuring tropicals and bromeliads. Brick paths are shared with skittering geckos. Varieties of orchids and bromeliads emerge from the foliage and trees to surprise you with their vibrant blooms. The herb garden provides a historic look at gardening, while native plants and exotics provide an environment that is reminiscent of old Key West. Many trees and plants are labeled with their common names, Latin names, and country of origin. This is one of the finest tropical garden in the Florida Keys.
