Poe famously loved cats — and two cats were found by the museum and adopted by museum staff! The museum features artifacts from Poe’s life, as well as the most comprehensive collection of his literary works. The grounds also include the Poe Shrine that was built using the bricks of the Southern Literary Messenger where Poe worked.
Once the hunting grounds of the Powhatan, this stunning 50-acre garden now stands as a breathtaking treasure.
