 Elvis was twenty-two when he bought Graceland for $100,000 in March, 1957. He had already recorded "Heartbreak Hotel", performed on the Ed Sullivan Show, and saw his first album (Elvis Presley) reach million-plus dollars in sales. 


Graceland would become Elvis' sanctuary from what would soon be the grueling grind of movie-making, music-making, partying, and women. 

t o   G r a c e l a n d

Elvis was a bona-fide recording star, selling over a billion records. He never performed outside of North America, but his reach was global, with 40% of his record sales outside of the United States.

 The Jungle Room

The room includes a water-fall, plush carpeting, and a Hawaiian motif, inspired directly from Elvis' travels to the Hawaiian islands

Mystery House
The Winchester House, which is located in  San Jose,  is a 160-room mansion designed by Sarah Winchester, heir to the Winchester Repeating Rifle fortune. Sarah regularly visited a spiritualistic medium. This psychic told her that the spirits of every person who had been killed by the rifles that her family manufactured, had sought revenge on her. She believed that these spirits had placed a curse upon her and would haunt her forever and that the only way that she could escape the curse would be to build on her house constantly.  In 1884 she began building on her eight-room house and didn't stop for 38 years every hour of the day until she died in September 1922. There are a few rumors about this house. There is supposed to be 13 of everything in the house.  Thirteen steps in every staircase, 13 windows in each room, etc. This house is also said to be a virtual maze; that only the spirits and Mrs. Winchester truly know their way around the home.

Some noteworthy oddities include a four-story sea monster; life-sized, fully animated circus orchestra; streets of
 yesterday; and the world's largest carousel with its more than 20,000 lights and 269 real and mythical creatures. (If you go, take me)

Hemingway's Six-Toed Cat House
  

The Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum is home to sixty cats. These six-toed or polydactyl cats are direct descendants of Ernest's own pets. The original six-toed cat was given to him by a captain friend.

The Hemingway House is definitely something not to miss on a trip to Key West. The rich history is very worthwhile. The house itself is in a beautiful location, and is quite a relaxing retreat from the rest of downtown Key West.
