The Walt Whitman Birthplace State Historic Site includes a cedar-shingled farmhouse, an interpretive center, and a gathering house at Old Walt Whitman Road.
Walter Whitman Sr. constructed this two-story farmhouse in 1816, where the renowned American poet Walt Whitman was born in 1819 with his three siblings.
The museum exhibits over 100 portraits, original letters, manuscripts, and artifacts that document Walt Whitman's evolution from printer to celebrated poet.
