It was an interesting place. I did enjoy the museum. The buildings are very small but they are historical. It was interesting to see, and for being on the smaller side, they have a nice museum. It was difficult to find the parking, but in other places I went in richmond I had issues finding where things were located if you did not take the way the city expects u to. If you are in to Poe or just need something quick to do, it's fun.

Small museum, but full of very interesting artifacts, not only about Poe but time period as well. Has a very 'Poe' feeling even if he didn't actually live in the house. It is worth a stop in Richmond for any one interested in Edgar Allan Poe.

I am a huge Poe fan and was very much looking forward to this visit. Do I think it was worth the $10 price tag. Not really. I am impressed with some of the artifacts they have (such as a childhood bed), but was expecting to learn more about him as a person and artist. I think I would have learned more from reading a book. We were in and out within half an hour. Also, the restroom was not the cleanest. I would suggest skipping unless you are a devotee of his works.

If you’re a Poe fan, this is a must do experience ! I’m an English major and a huge Poe fan myself, and I throughly enjoyed my visit! There is a lot of information about Poe’s childhood, adulthood, and his last days. There are also lots of very interesting artifacts. There is an audio tour, however, my family just read the plaques and were able to understand what we were looking at. The tour takes about 1-1.5 hours. As far as pricing, the museum is reasonable (at least to me), coming out to $10/person. There are two black cats who live here. They are very sweet and friendly, and they perfectly fit the vibe of the place! Overall, I highly recommend this museum!

A fantastic small museum focusing on the life and writings of one of my favorite authors! The exhibits were very informative and the space was delightful. They also had friendly museum cats and an amazing little gift shop!

Even if you don't consider yourself a fan of Poe's work, this museum is a real gem that no local or visitor to Richmond should miss. It's very inclusive of many aspects of Richmond/VA/US history and the grounds are gorgeous. The admission price is very reasonable and the gift shop is nice. Our tour guide, Finch, really enhanced the experience with her fun, natural approach to storytelling. I'm so glad we took advantage of having her educate us and making the visit more enjoyable all around. A friend who was visiting from out of state really had no prior interest in Poe, but by the end of this tour she had become a fan and said that this was probably her favorite history experience out of all the places she visited in Richmond and Williamsburg!
