Wake from a long, long sleep and hit the museum to delve into the deep mystery of Dickinson. The 90-minute "Emily Dickinson's World" tour ($10 per adult, $9 for college students and senior citizens) guides guests through the Homestead, where Dickinson was born and lived, and the Evergreens, where the poet's brother lived. See where Dickinson lived, slept, ate, wrote, parlor'd, and played Pac-Man, while also getting an in-depth look into her genius in the ways of poetry and into overall 19th-century life.

About Emily Dickinson Museum
The Amherst College–owned Emily Dickinson Museum preserves the memory and work of the poet and hyphen master by maintaining the estate where she lived and composed many of her nearly 1,800 poems. The museum includes The Homestead, her birthplace and longtime residence, which stands near The Evergreens, where her brother, Austin, lived with his family. Emily and her siblings were all avid gardeners, cultivating flowers and hedges throughout their 3-acre estate. Emily herself maintained a conservatory for her collection of exotic plants, and she drew endless inspiration from her natural surroundings for her work.
The Emily Dickinson Museum welcomes field trips for groups of students and schedules events throughout the year to celebrate her poetry and role in American literary history. Interactive poetry discussion groups meet at various Amherst locations, keeping Dickinson's style relevant by communicating only in rhyming quatrains.
