Walt Whitman House

Walt Whitman House is a 19th-century residence with Greek revival features located at 330 Mickle Boulevard. It contains six rooms displaying personal belongings and furnishings from when the poet lived there.

The poet purchased the house in 1884 and remained there until his death in 1892, completing some of his most significant works. Those years in Camden were a crucial period in his creative life.

The residence served as a meeting place where writers from different countries gathered to discuss literature and ideas with Whitman. These visits showed how his work reached beyond America and connected him with creative minds from across the world.

The house is open to visitors through guided tours that require advance registration to participate. Plan ahead to reserve your spot for a tour.

Visitors can see the original bed where the poet died, rare photographs, and the death notice posted on his front door. These objects offer a direct connection to this significant moment in the place's history.
