United in Elian House


United in Elian House is a sightseeing point in Miami, Florida. The Elian House is actually The Elian Gonzalez House, which is considered an unusual site to visit. The house is a four room location where 6 year old Elian Gonzalez spent part of 2000 in. Elian Gonzalez was being watched by the Cuban Exile Community and International Media for part of 2000. The house is now a site to see as a shrine to Elian. The walls are covered with collages of his face. The display cases have many of his toys and even the closets have his clothing.

There is also a room set up to show the nighttime raid that occurred by federal agents to return Elian to Cuba. The house is a part of Miami's most recent history, which is one reason it has been turned into a shrine and museum rather than being left empty or lived in. The house does not have a phone number or official hours for operation. It is free to view the inside, though the owners do accept donations. Great- Uncle Delfin (Elian's) personally gives tours of the house. The house is located at 2319 NW 2nd Street.
