Very nicely done history of Tennessee Williams along with historical items. While not the original location in Key West where he did his best play writings it does have a scale model of his original house to see. The history from childhood till death is displayed in wall graphics and period accurate playbills, programs, etc. Though small if you like to read the items and props explanations it will take an hour plus to go through.

Just like Key West - an unexpected gem built from respect and affection of the people who live here! Cant honestly say I even knew this town was a home for this great American author. But I cant begin to say how impressed I was to spend some time inside and to learn about him. This little building on Truman shares the story of a man appreciated by so many for his talents, as told by people who knew and loved the man as a person; or so I felt as I walked through the exhibits. We had no narrator to lead us; instead we saw Tennessee Williams as told by the memories, ephemera, artwork and pictures gathered together. This is a thinkers exhibit so it will be as short (less than ten minutes if you breeze through) or as long (over thirty in my case) as you care for it to be.

Really liked it for the way it tells his story beyond being a great writer. Id say its not a place for young children as the exhibits need you to read, to see and relate to what each represents.

From the outside, it doesnt look like much but youre Tennessee Williams fan or even just an American literature fan, you have to see whats inside: lovingly crafted exhibits and full of interesting ephemera. The curator is full of fascinating stories about Williams, I could listen to him talk for hours if you go to the Hemingway House you should do yourself a favor, walk a few blocks, and go to here too
