Located in Richmond’s historic Shockoe Bottom neighborhood, the Poe Museum honors the life and legacy of Edgar Allan Poe. Although Poe never lived in the buildings that make up the museum today, the site stands near places closely connected to his life in Richmond. Visitors often remark on the museum’s eerie atmosphere. Fitting for a writer whose stories helped define Gothic literature.
