Description:

America's foremost writer of horror and suspense, Edgar Allan Poe called Richmond home, and the museum that bears his name contains a comprehensive collection of first edition manuscripts, letters, photos, and other memorabilia. Visitors can take guided tours of the museum, view drawings of the writer, or even get married in the estate's Enchanted Garden. Part of the historic Shockoe Bottom district, the museum resides in the Old Stone House, within walking distance of the old Southern Literary Messenger office, where Poe lived and worked.
