Description
Named after the great American poet and author who once resided there, visitors to Poe Park can check out the Edgar Allan Poe Cottage—a house where the writer, who moved often, lived in 1846 while writing works such as "The Bells" and "Annabel Lee." Tours covering Poe's work in the house and the end of his life are available on weekends.
