Poe House is now open for visitors. Please visit our site for details about COVID-19 protocol: https://www.poeinbaltimore.org/covid-19-response-at-poe-house-as-of-3-11-2020/ Visitthe "Poe Places" link on our website to visit many (free) sites throughout Baltimore all year round. The Edgar Allan Poe House & Museum is a National Historic Landmark. BACKGROUND: In a tiny brick house on Baltimore’s North Amity Street in 1833-1835 Edgar Allan Poe wrote some of the early stories that would make him the father of the modern short story, and create and define the modern genres of mystery, horror and science fiction. His spirit and legacy live throughout Baltimore City, inspiring authors, poets, playwrights, businesses – and even our sports teams. Poe Baltimore celebrates this legacy. Poe Baltimore was created to fund, maintain and interpret The Edgar Allan Poe House and Museum, and to celebrate the legacy of one of Baltimore’s most famous residents. We are dedicated to maintaining the museum as a vibrant experience for the thousands of visitors who come from around the world each year, and as part of a broader mission of city-wide events and educational opportunities. Poe Baltimore is committed to enriching the experience of visitors to Baltimore, who come to witness the city that inspired Edgar Allan Poe and his intellectual and literary heirs. We are committed to protecting, preserving and celebrating the rich history of the city, the house, and the legacy of one of our most beloved denizens.

We’re LIVE from Edgar Allan Poe’s Grave!!! Happy Birthday, Poe!
UnHappy Saturday! We are LIVE from the Edgar Allan Poe House & Museum in Baltimore!
Though this winter has been gentle, 203 N. Amity will remain closed until spring. No worries though-- great things are planned once we reopen, and in the meantime, our "Poe Places" website link actually maps many other haunts to explore throughout Poe's Baltimore. Enjoy (and please do share your trekking photos here!)
All the chillest ravens in town are headed from the Poe House to Zella's Pizzaria (1145 Hollins St, 21223,) where Poe's belated 208th birthday party's getting started. Come join us-- it's free and open to the public!
We sure do love welcoming the steady stream of visitors who come to 203 N. Amity to pay homage to the man who launched his career here. Thanks for honoring him with your presence!
Anyone visiting 203 N. Amity knows you'll find the best volunteer docents anywhere. Yet, yesterday was quietest visitor day we've ever experienced (presumably, everyone was out shopping.) So our creative (and goofy) juices flowed, inspired by a mix of boredom, Poe's lyricism, traditional melodies, and popular culture. By the end, witness to the singing of mismatched carols and lyrics, it seemed as if Edgar was suffering. (Though yes, it is far harder to sing like this than you'd ever imagine....) Spoiler alert-- only ONE weekend remains before we (mostly) close until Spring, so please don't make us torture him like this again!
Look who stopped by yesterday! He said Poe's parlor door closes (mostly) until next spring, yet lots of things will be kicking before Dec. 27. Come hear poet David Yezzi (2-3pm, Sun. Dec.13) and read a bit of Poe yourself. To read, pre-register here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Uc6Ycjg3hRjj0dsoEOpdguF7-OtxOildjMDZiPWfkbc/viewform FYI: space is extremely limited. *And you simply MUST check our fab gift shop-- we've all sorts of new PoeRrific gifts!
