Some of the writing Hemingway did inthe house was done in an area of the third floor that faces south which was his room until he graduated from high school and went to Kansas City to be a reporter for that city's Star newspaper.
In 1919, he returned for a few months to recuperate from wounds he sustained in World War I when he was an ambulance driver. Also, there was a broken heart from a nurse he had fallen in love with.
These experiences led to his book "A Farewell to Arms."
From there, Hemingway went on to write magnificent books while being married four times, battling alcoholism and mental illness before committing suicide in 1961.
Kathy Fitzgerald, who lived on the first floor of the Hemingway house from 1977 to 2010, said that a lotof interesting people would stop by over the years as well as tour buses with a lot of people from foreign countries.
