A self taught naturalist, Edward Avery McIlhenny returned to Avery Island from an artic expedition in 1898. He shortly took over the family's TABASCO® pepper sauce business. McIlhenny married Mary Matthews of New Orleans and built a house in what became Jungle Gardens.Together they reared three children on the Island. McIlhenny applied his curious skills to running the family business, caring for his mother and extended family members, and learning to harness his boundless curiosity, abilities , and vigor to serve this small, isolated "island."In 1924, McIlhenny's original house burned. It was rebuilt soon after, in a more restrained style, and this structure presently stands in Jungle Garden. (Marker Number 13.)
