Edgar Allan Poe's Grave, Literary figure burial site at Westminster Hall, Baltimore, United States.
The granite monument features a carved medallion with Poe's profile and stands at the entrance of Westminster Hall's burial ground.
After his death in 1849, Poe received a sandstone marker labeled '80' until local students funded the current monument in 1875.
The burial site attracts literature enthusiasts who leave flowers, notes, and offerings at the granite memorial throughout the year.
Westminster Hall opens its gates daily from 8:00 AM until dusk, with guided tours available through advance reservations.
From 1949 to 2009, a mysterious figure known as the Poe Toaster placed three roses and cognac at the grave each January 19.
