The Edgar Allen Poe Museum is not located where the "American Shakespeare" lived and worked, but it is real close by. The museum has been in the old stone house, Richmond's oldest surviving building, since 1922. In the stone house and outbuildings are a larger preponderance of his works and possessions across his 40 years. There is a garden in the back, a shrine with a bust of the writer, and three outbuildings with exhibits and artifacts. The museum is open 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesday to Saturday; 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday; closed Mondays. Tours are self-guided. As of October 2008, the price of admission was $6.
