Edgar Allan Poe Cottage
The Edgar Allan Poe Cottage is a National Historic Landmark preserving the small farmhouse where the author of 'The Raven' and 'The Tell-Tale Heart' spent the last years of his life from 1846 to 1849, writing some of his most celebrated works while caring for his ailing wife Virginia. Operated by the Bronx County Historical Society, the cottage offers an intimate view of Poe's creative and domestic life.
