A unique part of Key West is its special architecture and long history of attracting artists and bohemians to her shores. The historic Porter family was where local preservationist Jesse Porter entertained such queer icons as Tennessee Williams, Gloria Swanson, and Tallulah Bankhead. Take a guided tour of this 19th-century antique home which is much more than just a museum—the place organizes poetry festivals, travel writers' workshops, and garden tours that take you through the home's Margaret Lang Orchid Collection, containing nearly 200 examples of the celebrated flowers. You can even have your same-sex wedding here!
