This was a wonderful tour, we learned a lot & the buildings & grounds were beautiful! Hope to visit again soon.
But no parking lot! Parking is on street with meters so bring change. I think we needed $1 for the tour, but didn't hang around & look around afterward.
Beautiful house in a gorgeous area. Great place to wander around, and a must-see site if you're a fan of the author. Convenient to lots of local shops and restaurants -- not hard to make an afternoon of this! That said -- definitely check the hours before you visit.
This is one of my favorite places. I have always loved Emily Dickinson, so coming here was like a poet’s pilgrimage. I will always remember the magic of holding the laminated scraps of her poems.
I was very lucky to visit here on the open-house day. There were many events. It's really a nice place to know more about Emily Dickinson and American literature.
Loved this! Our tour guide was fantastic and we learned a lot!
I'm not a huge Emily Dickinson fan but this visit gave us great insight into her life and times. The staff were very pleasant. An informative tour.
Melissa was a fantastic docent, and the board in the upstairs bedroom with multiple wording options for the same poem was fascinating.
Knowledgeable tour guides gave a deep insight into the life and writing of Emily Dickinson. I'm not usually a poetry reader, but Emily's work is compelling. I can't wait to start reading her poems and letters. The brother's house is a special treat for those who love homes in the original state, and original furnishings. I highly recommend a visit for history and literature buffs.
Super informative and in-depth overview of Dickinson's life, family, friends, and poetry. I received an hour-long tour of Dickinson's home, her brother's next-door, and the grounds. Our guide was extensively knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and personable. We really felt the spirit of Emily and her love of writing, nature, and life throughout the tour. A wonderful experience for both newbies and experts alike!
Grounds are amazing. Great and informative museum. Definitely not to be missed!
I came here to do research for my college paper and my tour guide was absolutely fantastic! She gave me lots of great information for my paper! I loved the tour and would definitely come back!
