Wonderful tour experience! The Emily Dickinson Museum was the best museum tour experience I have ever had. The museum has organized tour groups where the tour guide walked the group through The Homestead showing us each room and how it affected Emily's life. The tour experience included not only the story of Emily's life, but also how and why Emily wrote poetry the way that she did. The tour was a very fulfilling experience, and the tour guide made it very special.
We had a great trip here and my daughter loved learning about Emily Dickinson from a child’s point of view. I think her childhood visit deeply impacted her worldview even as an adult. We are looking forward to returning! We love how complex and intelligent Dickinson is. Bonus for college students- the museum tour really helped with papers and impressing English professors!
Haven't visited in nearly a decade and am so excited for when they reopen! I've done a few online seminars over the last year or so including the poetry walk, and the folks running the museum are doing a wonderful job preserving the history and importance of Dickinson's work. The preservation of her herbariums in particular I think that's what they're called? are truly marvelous. The amount of skill she put in to carefully arranging each plant and flower just blows me away. I keep telling my fiancé I'll take him so he can enjoy the grounds and the houses as well because everyone ought to visit at least once. I have the Emily Dickinson tarot deck and it's so beautiful, very well done and the art captures something about the divine and the poetry I can't quite put into words. I've been using it more for personal readings and definitely would recommend it to anyone who is interested in divination.
This was my second time here and first since the renovations. Our tour guide was Pete and he was very knowledgeable and accommodating. The museum features so many items - some used from the TV series, movie and some from the actual time period. The scenery was beautiful. If you are in the area- make this a priority.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$11–15
Very knowledgeable guide. A pleasant, well informed dialog! The buildings and story of Emily Dickenson and her family give the visitor a glimpse into the life of mid nineteenth century life for people of means.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
A very nice experience visiting the home where the famous poet lived. The visit includes a personal tour, and our guide certainly cared a great deal about Emily Dickinson. He recited a lot of her poetry from memory and the visit lasted nearly two hours. The main house in particular is quite nice, as are the gardens.

This may be my favorite author house/museum to visit. Certainly, I have not found a better one. Most importantly, the genuine love that each person brings to the Emily Dickinson Museum is manifest in every aspect of the museum's public-facing presentation. To the museum's great credit, the individual personalities and, vitally, the reasons those individuals love Dickinson that each individual brings to the table seem to be honored and encouraged. To wit: I have enjoyed the tour of the House and the Evergreens several times, and each time highlighted very different aspects of the poet's life and work. The first time, our guide seemed to focus most on ways of reading Dickinson believe me, it's a fascinating subject. The second, our guide was most focused on the lives like loaded guns that the Dickinsons lived. The third, our guide brought up Thomas Wentworth Higginson enough to make me change my thinking on him my opinion has become decidedly more favorable as a direct result of this tour. I'm sure that the next time I go, I'll take away more once again. Beyond this, the museum does an excellent job of crafting outstanding programming. I would recommend the annual walk from the Dickinson house to the poet's grave, which occurs in mid May of the year in keeping with Dickinson's passing. It's truly a deeply affecting memorial. If you love Dickinson, you just want to learn some more about this major figure, or you're anywhere in between, visit the Emily Dickinson Museum. You'll be glad you did.
Beautiful place, very peaceful and loved the recorded guided tour around the property. The staff is very well informed and made the visit quite pleasant. It's such a powerful experience to walk around the house and be in the very room this prodigy lived.
The Emily Dickinson Museum was incredibly educational. The tours are about an hour long and take you through both Emily’s house and her brother’s house right next door. You get to see her bed where she died and the desk where she wrote. Her house is in much better condition than her brother’s, though. Many bolts hold up the walls, but they are in the progress of restoring some of the major rooms. All in all, it was a fantastic experience. Those who are fans of the English language, literature, or poetry will love their time here.
