The 185th birthday of the poet coincides with the completion of the bedroom restoration at the Emily Dickinson Museum. On December 12 join us from 1PM-4PM to celebrate with an open house at the Museum. All are welcome and no admission fee or reservations required.
Tour the Homestead at your leisure. Hear contemporary poets share their work written in the bedroom during its restoration. Contribute to a crowd-sourced commemorative poem. And of course, enjoy coconut cake made from the poet’s own recipe!
