The Emily Dickinson Museum provides the most historically accurate, immersive experience of the life and work of Emily Dickinson, one of America's greatest poets, and the Dickinson family. The Museum is comprised of the Homestead, where Emily Dickinson was born, lived most of her life and wrote nearly all of her poetry, and The Evergreens, the home of Dickinson's brother Austin and sister-in-law Susan, and which served as the backdrop to the dramatic events that led to the posthumous publication of Dickinson's poetry and letters.

The Museum is dedicated to educating diverse audiences about the poet's life, family, creative work, times, and enduring relevance, and to preserving and interpreting the Homestead and The Evergreens as historical resources for public and academic enrichment.

From March through December, the Emily Dickinson Museum is open Wednesdays through Sundays. The Museum is not open on Mondays, Tuesdays, major holidays, or on any day in January and February.
