Jane Austen's House Museum
Jane Austen's House Museum, House museum in Chawton, England
The brick cottage features Georgian-style architecture with period-accurate furnishings, including Jane Austen's original writing table and personal belongings displayed throughout the rooms.
Between 1809 and 1817, Jane Austen resided in this cottage where she wrote Mansfield Park, Emma, and Persuasion while revising her earlier manuscripts.
The museum exhibits first editions of Austen's novels, family letters, jewelry, and manuscripts that demonstrate the literary contributions of early 19th-century England.
The house museum opens daily except during winter months, with guided tours available in multiple languages and a gift shop selling literature-related merchandise.
The museum's attic remains closed to visitors as it serves as a protected habitat for a colony of bats that have made it their permanent residence.
