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.
