The Homestead

This is a view from N. Pleasant Street of Emily Dickinson’s home in Amherst, MA. It is now a museum, and hosts literary events for the community.
 
“Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,”
  Emily Dickinson

    I would love the opportunity to see some famous poet’s homes in person. You’re so lucky to have seen Emily’s house. It’s beautiful. Did you get to tour the museum? Hope all is well. Have a great day.
