Edgar Allan Poe Museum, Literary house museum in Richmond, United States.
The Edgar Allan Poe Museum occupies the Old Stone House, a stone building containing manuscripts, letters, first editions, and personal belongings of the author.
The museum opened in 1922 in Richmond's oldest building, constructed by Jacob Ege around 1740 as a merchant's residence near the James River.
The museum holds annual student poetry competitions during National Poetry Month to encourage young writers to connect with Poe's literary heritage.
Visitors can explore four buildings with exhibits about Poe's life, including his childhood bed, clothing, manuscripts, and a collection of early editions.
The garden behind the museum recreates the setting of Poe's poem 'To One in Paradise' with period plants and serves as a wedding venue.
