Key West Heritage House Museum and Robert Frost Cottage, Historic house museum in Key West, United States.
The Heritage House Museum displays six generations of period furnishings and artifacts that document the history of Key West, located at 410 Caroline Street.
The Heritage House became a cultural center after Jessie Porter purchased it in 1934, leading to visits from numerous writers including Tennessee Williams and Robert Frost.
Robert Frost spent sixteen consecutive winters in the cottage behind the Heritage House between 1945 and 1960, making it a significant literary landmark.
The museum collection contains original photographs, documents, and personal items that tell the story of Key West residents through two centuries.
The property contains hundreds of objects from Key West's early period when shipwreck salvaging made it the wealthiest city per capita in the United States.
