Lonely Planet review

In the center of the Coconut Grove village is the 1891, 5-acre pioneer residence of Ralph Monroe, Miami's first honorable snowbird (a nickname for Northerners who fly south for the winter). The house is open for guided tours, led by folks who are quite knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the park.

The park is a lovely, shady oasis for strolling, especially if you're seeking refuge from the buy-buy-buy madness across Main Hwy. The park hosts frequent moonlight concerts, from jazz to classical.
