Emily Dickinson Museum: The Homestead and the Evergreens

280 Main St., Amherst, MA 01002

About

The Emily Dickinson Museum comprises two historic houses in the center of Amherst, Massachusetts associated with the poet Emily Dickinson and members of her family during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The Homestead was the birthplace and home of the poet Emily Dickinson. The Evergreens, next door, was home to her brother Austin, his wife Susan, and their three children.

The Museum was created in 2003 when the two houses merged under the ownership of Amherst College. Its mission is to spark the imagination by amplifying Emily Dickinson’s revolutionary poetic voice from the place she called home
