Poe Cottage
Located at Kingsbridge Road and the Grand Concourse, the Edgar Allen Poe Cottage is truly a unique sight to see in the Bronx. Surrounded by bustling traffic and towering apartment buildings, the simple white structure is like a relic from another time. Perhaps the best thing about visiting the Poe Cottage with kids is its size. The cottage is teeny tiny, which means it’s perfect for fidgety kids who don’t do well with long, drawn out tours of historical sites. Tours of the cottage are $5 for adults and $3 for kids. Stay tuned… the best is yet to come for the Poe Cottage. It is slated for a $250,000 restoration and will soon get a $3.2 million, 2,000 square foot visitor center! These improvements are a fitting tribute to the nearly 200-year-old cottage where it is believed Poe penned “The Bells,” “Annabel Lee,” and Eureka.” Click here to visit Poe Cottage’s website. If you’re looking to pair your visit to the Poe Cottage with another outing, consider visiting the new Bronx Library Center, which is just around the block. We affectionately refer to it as a “library on steroids.”
