Audubon visited the Florida Keys and Dry Tortugas in 1832. Audubon left Key West having sighted and drawn 22 new birds for his "Birds of America" folio. It is believed that many of those drawings were conceived in the Audubon House garden. Audubon's painting of the white-crowned pigeon features the Geiger tree found in the front yard of the house.The 19th-century home was built by Captain John H. Geiger, licensed harbor pilot and master wrecker, who lived in the house with his wife and nine children. It was an era when shipwrecks occurred daily on the off-shore reef. It was a time of pirates and yellow fever, slave ships and Indian wars.

Take a closer look at the table… what stands out to you the most? 👀🍗 There’s a LOT going on in this recreation of an 1850s Key West kitchen.

From the foods being prepared to the tools and cooking methods, the Cook House offers a glimpse at what preparing a meal looked like in Key West more than 170 years ago.

Watch it again, pick one thing that catches your eye, and tell us in the comments. We have a feeling a few of you are going to choose the bird. 😂

“The productions of Nature that lay spread all around, were constantly pointed out to me. They soon became my playmates.” — John James Audubon

That same spirit of curiosity is still worth following. Wander the paths, look beneath the leaves, look up into the trees, and see what catches your attention.

Come explore the tropical gardens at Audubon House & Tropical Gardens—you never quite know what you’ll discover. 🌿🦋

Sometimes, standing beneath the trees is all it takes to remember how small we are—and how extraordinary the natural world around us really is.

Some of the trees at Audubon House & Tropical Gardens have been growing, changing, and reaching toward the sun for generations. We’re simply lucky enough to stand beneath them for a little while.

Bring a loved one and come explore for yourself 🌸🐝🐦
