This led expedition presents the perfect opportunity to delve into the origins of an acclaimed author’s life and legacy. Ernest Hemingway was born in a bedroom on the second floor of this place on July 21, 1899. His maternal grandparents constructed this Queen Anne style dwelling in 1890, and it was the first residence in Oak Park to be equipped with electricity. The house’s restoration to its Victorian roots from the 1890s guarantees that the artifacts and narratives you encounter embody the narrative of the young man who resided there.
