Walt Whitman House

The home is well preserved and the tours are fascinating. Anyone who is in the area and is interested in Walt Whitman should take a tour here. Just be aware that the home is open by appointment only.

Don't c many people going there at all. I've never been inside, but doesn't look very big and you can't just go whenever. Certain days and times to b able to walk through.

Our visit to the Walt Whitman House was the highlight of our visit to the Philadelphia area. The guide who took us on a tour was professional and very knowledgeable about Walt Whitman. Along with the Edgar Allan Poe House, this is a must see for those who love literature and history. Plus, It's a very cool old house. Make sure to call ahead to check the hours and make a reservation for the guided tour. We just showed up and the tour was full so we had to wait to come back for the next one.

Call ahead to be sure that the house will be open, and they will have you make an appointment since it's a personally guided tour. The tour guide meets you out front and provides information on Whitman's history, as well as some history on the surrounding area. You're able to see most rooms in the house, each of which are filled with Whitman's personal belongings, with the tour ending in the yard. The house is beautifully maintained and set up. There is no photography permitted within the house. The tour guide was friendly and very knowledgeable of Whitman, his family, friends, and the surrounding area. Definitely worth the trip!
