the son also rises - View this location on map ernest hemingway was born in oak park in 1899 and lived here through high school. whether hemingway ever actually described the town as a place of 'broad lawns and narrow minds' is in dispute. but you can get a feel for the writer's genteel origins at the ernest hemingway birthplace house (708-848-2222). just south, at the hemingway museum (200 north oak park avenue, 708-848-2222), displays include young hemingway's high school report card (he did well in commercial law, not so well in geometry) and teenage scribblings. the birthplace and museum are open until 5 p.m.; $7 combined admission.''
