    Great video! I was there years ago. I've read all of Poe's works-the guy was a literary genius.

    Now that I know of the Poe Museum in Richmond, I've put it on my Bucket List!

    Grew up in RVA and have never been inside the Old Stone House. Thanks for the tour. 👍

    Thanks Chris for showing this fabulous house. I've been there too. I hope one day you will tour the St.Johh's church and grounds which is only a few blocks away. Poe's mother is buried there as well as some other notable historical people. During the warmer weather, there is a reenactment of Patrick Henry's ' Give me liberty or give me death' speech inside the church. It's a must-see!

      Yeah, I’ve been wanting to go to St. John’s for a while now. Going to try and make it happen this year!

      Also, the Valentine History Museum! I was married there 20 years ago because it’s always been such a favorite place to visit as a history buff!

    RVA resident and I’ve been to the second floor in the Old Stone House (a friend worked there, her office was up there, and my 3 year old at the time was volunteering to be little Edgar Allan Poe in a celebration. It’s beautiful and it was so incredibly amazing to be near those primary sources and know he touched them.
    I was with a small group that also performed Victorian Christmas carols back in those arches (five of us, I got to be the alto 😂). and the acoustics are insane. Thanks for the trip down Memory Lane!
    (I also had a terrifying experience that same day on the second floor and am pretty sure it’s haunted, but it’s still beautiful.)

      @ It’s a great museum and well worth the visit for any Poe fan! His room at UVA on the Lawn is also preserved as it would have been in his day.

    He was one messed up dude! - so much suffering and substance abuse. Too bad his extraordinary talent wasn’t widely appreciated while he was alive. Good place to visit for Halloween too, kinda creepy😬
