Reviews of Edgar Allan Pоe National Historic Site
"Edgar Allen Poe lived here for only one year. Please be aware that this site is located in a very sketchy part of Philly. Although it is a 16 minute walk from Chinatown, we would not recommend walking to this area (which we accidentally did). If you must see it, drive/uber there and drive/uber right on out."
"Really interesting historic building. Less than 1 hour to walk through. I recommend using the grounds tour guide they offer. Definitely check out the basement!"
"Charmingly creepy one-time residence of author Edgar Allan Poe. While not as flashy as Independence Hall and the other American Revolution era sites, it's definitely worth a visit if you're a fan of Poe's work. As of February 2024 there weren't many exhibits, but additional exhibits are being created. The gift shop has Poe related merchandise from books to bobble heads to pins. The area around the house has limited parking and the bus to it is infrequent. To reach the house, it may be easiest to get a ride share or do the 15-minute walk from the Independence Hall visitor center."
"I enjoyed my visit to the Edgar Allan Poe National Historical Site. The exhibits on display were very interesting and informative. The self-guided tour of the house was very good. The docent on-site also provided interesting information about Poe's life, as well."
"I had to visit for Halloween. I looked it up first. The house is a mere shell of a building and is not furnished. Only a sketch adorns a wall and that's about it. Still a cool place whether you're a Poe fan or not. One room is set up to the style of a person with means in that time would look like but nothing of Poe's is in the house. 3 stories and a cellar. Very narrow and steep stairs, not for handicap or wheelchairs."
