Audubon House and Tropical Gardens
Audubon House and Tropical Gardens Review
If you've ever seen an engraving by ornithologist John James Audubon, you'll understand why his name is synonymous with birds. See his works in this three-story house, which was built in the 1840s for Captain John Geiger and filled with period furniture. It now commemorates Audubon's 1832 stop in Key West while he was traveling through Florida to study birds. Docents lead a guided tour ($7.50) that points out the rare indigenous plants and trees in the garden. An art gallery sells lithographs of the artist's famed portraits.
