The Emily Dickinson House and Museum is a unique museum that consists of two historic houses—the Homestead, where the renowned poet was born and lived, and the Evergreens, an adjacent house which was gift to her brother from their father. Dickinson lived in Homestead for the majority of her life, becoming increasingly unwilling, or unable, to leave the house. In the 1850s she became even more secluded in the house, interacting with most visitors through closed doors. The museum offers guided and self-guided tours of her home to teach you about both the poet's life, work, and family, and life in Amherst in the 19th century. The Homestead is a US National Historic Landmark, and both houses are part of the Dickinson Historic District, making it a must-visit destination for history and literature enthusiasts.
