Edgar Allen Poe: one of America's greatest authors. Stories such as 'Murders in the Rue Morgue,' 'Berenice,' 'The Fall of The House of Usher,' and 'The Gold Bug,' have made Poe America's master of the macabre. Although 19th century author occupied this house for only three years, it was in the house's garret chamber that he wrote his first published horror story, 'Berenice.' Along with a few interesting exhibits on Poe's life and death, is a short video presentation presenting the literary history of one the world's greatest authors. Aside from the Museum House, there is also an excellent display on the author at the Maryland Historical Society, with number of portraits on display.
The Museum House is a little brick row house that depicts the somewhat impoverished lifestyle led by the author during the period of his residency. It really isn't much of an attraction; however, there is something magical, even eerie, in standing in the same, hardly-changed house that this literary genius once lived and produced his first published work. But be warned! If you think Poe's stories are dark, mysterious and frightening, wait until you see this neighborhood!
