Agnes Keith House Museum was once occupied by the famous American writer, Agnes Newton Keith, who penned Land Below The Wind in 1939. The house is now part of the Sandakan Heritage Trail that includes nine other historically significant sites around the city. The phrase “Land Below The Wind” was used by sailors to describe all the lands south of the typhoon belt, but Agnes popularized the special connection of the phrase with Sabah, by applying it exclusively to North Borneo in her book.
