Know Before You Go
As a National Historic Landmark, the House has been preserved to best reflect the period in which Poe lived in the home. It is small with tight winding staircases and may not be suitable for all visitors. Unfortunately, it is not ADA accessible, nor are there restrooms (Poe himself used an outhouse!), but a video tour is available. Alternatively, you can request a live, guided, virtual tour by one of our docents.
