Ernest Hemingway Birthplace Museum in Oak Park preserves the Queen Anne house where the author was born in 1899.
Restored rooms and guided interpretation explore his early family life and the Victorian setting in which he spent his first years.
Reserve a tour through the Hemingway Foundation’s current visitor page. The house is at 339 North Oak Park Avenue, and the photograph shows the actual residence. Writing workshops, special events and other foundation programs have their own bookings. Distinguish this birthplace visit from Hemingway destinations in other cities and confirm tour availability before making an interior visit the focus of your trip.
