Once the home of Key West hostess and preservationist Jessie Porter, the Heritage House contains hundreds of mementos from Key West's early days, when shipwreck salvaging made it the richest city per capita in the United States. Visitors learn about the property's role as a gathering place for writers including Thornton Wilder, Tennessee Williams, Elizabeth Bishop and Robert Frost.[3]
Starting in 1945, poet Robert Frost spent 16 consecutive winters in the cottage behind the house, which now bears his name.[4]
