  • The Emily Dickinson Museum seeks to recreate the Dickinson family libraries at the Homestead and The Evergreens--those treasures the poet called “The strongest Friends of the Soul.” Click the Replenishing the Shelves link for more information and the current book list.
  • The Museum has a fresh Master Plan that could keep staff and board members busy for decades. When it all shakes out, what will the Emily Dickinson Museum of tomorrow look like?
  • Emily Dickinson was an avid botanist and gardener. Here at the Museum, we’re putting an increased emphasis on the landscape, and have just completed a thorough Restoration of the Hedge and Fence in front of the Homestead and The Evergreens.
