ernest hemingway birthplace
from ernest hemingway posted in literature by pete_nice
Ernest Hemingway was born in this home on July 21, 1899 to Clarence Edmonds Hemingway (a physician) and Grace Hall-Hemingway (a musician).
The family lived in the home until Ernest was six years old, in the same conservative community as architect Frank Lloyd Wright.
In 1992, the home was purchased by the Ernest Hemingway Foundation, who redesigned the home to reflect the period of the Hemingways residence. Today, the home is open for tours and features many artifacts from the family's life there.

As Ernest Hemingway's marriage to Pauline Pfeiffer began to dissolve in 1939, he received an invitation from the owner of the Sun Valley Lodge in Idaho to stay at the resort. The owner thought it would be good publicity, and Hemingway stayed with his writer/journalist girlfriend Martha Gellhorn in Room 206 as he worked on the novel For Whom the Bell Tolls.
Hemingway loved the Idaho landscape and people, and returned to the area often to hunt game and write.
