Paul Laurence Dunbar House, Historic house museum in Dayton, United States
The eight-room brick residence at 219 Paul Laurence Dunbar Street contains original furnishings, a Remington typewriter, and personal artifacts from the poet's life.
The State of Ohio purchased this property in 1936, establishing it as the first state memorial dedicated to an African-American figure in the United States.
The residence preserves the literary legacy of Paul Laurence Dunbar, who became the first African-American writer to achieve financial success through his publications.
Visitors can explore the house through guided tours from Friday to Sunday between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM, with the final tour departing at 3:30 PM.
The house maintains Dunbar's study exactly as it appeared during his final days, including a bicycle given to him by the Wright Brothers.
