Sadly, on September 28th of this year, the Edgar Allan Poe house in Baltimore was closed to the public due to budget cuts. Hopefully it will reopen in the spring and will be self-sustaining under the administrative direction of a nonprofit group. But don't despair, on the 204th anniversary of Poe's birthday, January 19, 2013, Westminster Hall in Baltimore will host a gala to celebrate his extraordinary work and life. Learn more here:
