Last year, thousands of visitors trekked to Baltimore from Europe, Asia, South America, and beyond, making personal pilgrimages to the Edgar Allan Poe House & Museum at 203 N. Amity Street (21223.)

Hopefully they'll inspire YOU to visit one of Baltimore's tiniest literary treasures. Why not experience what inspires so many folks to cross the globe, the the site where a young and unknown writer launched his career as the world-renowned denizen of darkness?

You'll be treated to a self-guided tour at your own leisure, with the choice to chat at length with well-versed docents, or simply take in the aura of Poe's former home.
