Welcome to the Emily Dickinson Museum: The
Homestead and The Evergreens! The Museum consists of two historic
houses in the center of Amherst, Massachusetts, closely
associated with the poet Emily Dickinson and members
of her family during the nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries. The Homestead was the birthplace and home
of the poet Emily Dickinson. The Evergreens, next door,
was home to her brother Austin, his wife Susan, and
their three children.
The Emily Dickinson Museum was created in 2003 when the two houses merged under the ownership of Amherst College. The Museum is dedicated to educating
diverse audiences about Emily Dickinson’s life,
family, creative work, times, and enduring relevance,
and to preserving and interpreting the Homestead and
The Evergreens as historical resources for the benefit
of scholars and the general public.
