Review & FAQ:
Famous poet Emily Dickinson was born and raised in Amherst. Here, visitors can go to the Emily Dickinson Museum, which is made up of two homes: Dickinson’s home and her brother’s home (next door). Emily’s home is referred to as the Homestead, while her brother’s home is referred to as The Evergreens. You’ll be treated to a huge art gallery that the Dickinsons collected over their lifetimes. This original artwork can be found in the Evergreen’s Parlor. Along with the artwork, visitors will get to see original items the homeowners owned, including the small writing desk in Emily’s room and toys that belonged to her nephew.
