Edgar Allan Poe House & Museum

My sister and I were very happy to be able to take our mother (who was visiting from Savannah, GA) to one of the historic homes of Edgar Allen Poe - one of her most favorite writers! This was such a treat! Laura was a great help before our arrival, being attentive and answering very quickly via text to our requests ! Jordan was a wonderful historical guide! He gave us such good information about Poe and my mother was so very pleased. Jordan even shared other historical sites for us to visit for Poe - and we did visit his grave site in Baltimore just a couple of miles (10ish minute walk away)! We are originally from Savannah, GA and we truly appreciate and value history! I'm so glad to have been able to help my mother's visit to Baltimore so very pleasant with this visit!

Great piece of history and self paced. Reservations are needed, but there were some walk ups. For fans and history buffs, plan to spend the full hour. The house is very small, so it's an easy walk thru and can be done in 20 minutes. House is very authentic and minimally decorated. April, who spoke about the home and time period, has been with the house for 30 years. She has so many wonderful stories and answered all our questions. It is an amazing part of the big Poe tour if you add it to multiple other sites like visiting the gravesite. Gift shop is small and sizes limited.

The Edgar Allan Poe house and museum was the main reason I went to Baltimore and in the end, I was incredibly happy I dud. The house itself is incredibly well kept, Cramped only because it's an old house that was made that way and just pretty overall from the inside and out! The people working there were pretty cool to! They knew there stuff and knew once they had said their piece, to let visitors walk about as needed! The Exhibits on display are varied and just neat. They're spread throughout the museum and vary from Poes family tree and some of his personal belongings! Accompanying information gives you the details on each Exhibit, from the bottom to the top! If there were any complaints I have, it's the Crampedness is a bit overwhelming and the area it is in is not so much BAD just not well kept! That aside the Edgar Allan Poe house and museum is great, highly recommended by me and a staple of Baltimore culture and at a reasonable price no less! Videos and pictures are of the outside and inside of the Museum, Exhibits, and info on the Exhibits!

The staff were very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. It took us about 30 minutes to go through, read everything and talk to the guides which it was enough time because it is only 600 sq. feet. There are signs in every room telling the story of Poe and the family, and what stories he wrote while there and five people lived in this house.
