Hemingway House To Become Museum

Ernest Hemingway’s house in Idaho will stay where it is and become a museum. “The board of The Nature Conservancy’s Idaho chapter voted Friday to move ahead with a plan to turn the 13-acre property near Sun Valley into a literary library and museum. The Nobel Prize-winning author fatally shot himself at the home in 1961. Neighbors had agreed to pay market value for the property — which could fetch an estimated $5 million — on the condition the house be moved. Neighbors fear the nonprofit group’s plans will disrupt the residential character of the upscale Ketchum community.”
