The outer boroughs of New York City are full of surprises, and this is certainly one of them. The Edgar Allan Poe Cottage is part of the Bronx County Historical Society's neighborhood walking tour. The cottage was the final home of Poe and his wife Virginia. Poe wrote several of his more renowned poems, such as "Annabel Lee" and "Ulalume: A Ballad" in this sparsely furnished home. An audio and short visual tour are provided describing Poe's life and his works. Admission is $2.
