Join us for an "armchair" tour of the Emily Dickinson Museum in Amherst, Massachusetts. Home to 19th-century American poet Emily Dickinson, the Museum comprises two historic houses. You'll visit the Homestead where Dickinson was born in 1830, produced nearly 2,000 poems, and died in 1886. Next door you'll enjoy The Evergreens, an untouched victorian interior that was home to the poet's brother, beloved sister-in-law Susan, and their children. Through this illustrated talk your guide will transport you into the very rooms where Dickinson found her inspiration, and along the way you'll learn about the poet and her family's daily life through her own words.
