Edgar Allan Poe House and Museum, Baltimore

The Edgar Allan Poe House and Museum was once the home of American writer and poet Edgar Allan Poe. It is now an unfurnished house museum. Much of the original woodwork remains in the house, but no artifacts from Poe's time there are on display.

The home was built in 1830. Poe moved into the house in 1833 when he was 23 years old. He lived in the house for two years. It is thought that Poe wrote several stories while living in the house. Among these are "Berenice," "Morella," and "The Unparalleled Adventure of One Hans Pfaall." It is also thought that he wrote the poems "Latin Hymn," "Enigma," "Serenade," and "The Coliseum" under this roof.

The house was opened as a museum in 1949. The museum hosts the International Edgar Allan Poe Festival and Awards each October. Tours of the house are only available through reservations.

The Edgar Allan Poe House and Museum is a U.S. National Historic Landmark and a Baltimore City Landmark, listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
