I never went to the house, but I've been to the grave a number of times. If i'd known about the house museum, I'd have tried to get either Bill Kidwell or my mom to take me. I have an attachment to Poe, and in times of trouble, I play a CD of Vincent price and Mr. Barrymore reading his collected works. It's comforting.
