Awesome place to visit

The Homestead was the birthplace and home of the poet Emily Dickinson. The Evergreens, next door, was home to her brother Austin, his wife Susan, and their three children. It is the Museum’s mission to spark the imagination by amplifying Emily Dickinson’s revolutionary poetic voice from the place she called home.

Open again - well worth a visit
Emily Dickinson Museum reopened mid August and it is a historical tour with a difference. Our guide, Samuel, was a passionate Emily scholar and brought her character to life through quotes from her poetry and letters. Her approach to poetry and her style was explored briefly too, (you do also get to tour the house in a small tour group).

Wonderful tour experience!
Wonderful tour experience! The Emily Dickinson Museum was the best museum tour experience I have ever had. The museum has organized tour groups where the tour guide walked the group through The Homestead showing us each room and how it affected Emily's life. The tour experience included not only the story of Emily's life, but also how and why Emily wrote poetry the way that she did. The tour was a very fulfilling experience, and the tour guide made it very special.
