Emily Dickinson Museum

Haven't visited in nearly a decade and am so excited for when they reopen! I've done a few online seminars over the last year or so including the poetry walk, and the folks running the museum are doing a wonderful job preserving the history and importance of Dickinson's work. The preservation of her herbariums in particular (I think that's what they're called?) are truly marvelous. The amount of skill she put in to carefully arranging each plant and flower just blows me away. I keep telling my fiancé I'll take him so he can enjoy the grounds and the houses as well because everyone ought to visit at least once. I have the Emily Dickinson tarot deck and it's so beautiful, very well done and the art captures something about the divine and the poetry I can't quite put into words. I've been using it more for personal readings and definitely would recommend it to anyone who is interested in divination.

Beautiful place, very peaceful and loved the recorded guided tour around the property. The staff is very well informed and made the visit quite pleasant. It's such a powerful experience to walk around the house and be in the very room this prodigy lived.

A very nice experience visiting the home where the famous poet lived. The visit includes a personal tour, and our guide certainly cared a great deal about Emily Dickinson. He recited a lot of her poetry from memory and the visit lasted nearly two hours. The main house in particular is quite nice, as are the gardens.

Tour guide Ilene was great, she had Emily's poems memorized and would receive them on the tour. Gift shop had nice things for sale, and you can walk the gardens as long as you lile. I was happy to support this treasure of literary history.
