Have you visited the butterfly house? 🥹

2025/1/18 Edited to

... Read moreThe Butterfly House in Pacific Grove stands as a testament to love, art, and resilience. Created by J Jackson for his wife, Sonja, who was losing her sight, the Butterfly House symbolizes their deep bond. J crafted a vibrant butterfly from wood, which marked the beginning of a creative transformation of their home into a colorful sanctuary. Since its inception in 1977, the Butterfly House has become a must-visit spot on the Monterey Peninsula, drawing visitors from around the globe. After J's passing in 2020 and Sonja's subsequent departure, the home continues to inspire many in pursuit of artistic vision. It stands as a reminder of their commitment to the Blind & Visually Impaired Center of Monterey County, demonstrating the couple's dedication to giving back to the community that admired their work. When visiting the Butterfly House, it's important to respect the surrounding neighborhood by parking courteously and avoiding obstructions. The owners of the home are keen to preserve its legacy and artistry, ensuring that future generations can appreciate the beauty and history behind this remarkable place. The story of the Butterfly House illustrates the transformative power of love and creativity, encouraging all to embrace their unique artistic journeys.

What to do when you’re in Phoenix!
I’ve visited Phoenix twice now, and these were some of the highlights of my trip! I can’t wait to go back and check out even more places. Echo Canyon Trailhead is a fabulous hike within Phoenix city limits, so if you’re in the city but looking to do something outdoorsy I highly recommend it.
