This house is dedicated to the other Edgar Allen Poe (not the poet, but a local businessman). He was an important figure in Fayetteville's history by owning the Poe Brick Company and was significant to the economy of the area. They have tours that should be resuming starting 12 November 2020, but check with the Museum of Cape Fear to verify. Suggested donations is $2 for adults and $1 for children. If you want to catch it with some Christmas decorations, they should have some wreaths and bows starting 28 November until 9 January.

I've heard of the Poe house but never stepped foot inside. I can't believe what I've been missing this whole time! It was a wonderful experience and felt like going back in time. The tour guide was very knowledgeable in the history of the family. They do tours on every hour and it's free and lasted about an hour.

Stephanie was a great guide! Very informative. Enjoyed the architecture of the home and the details inside with renovations. Easily takes you back to the time period of the Poe family. Enjoyed the free guided tour which lasted roughly 45 minutes.

Enjoyable tour, loved the antiques and information from the time period.

Took some family from out of town to the Poe House & neighboring museum. Our very informative and entertaining docent, Ms Cassandra was wonderful. The house is beautiful and a well preserved piece of history, we were all very pleasantly surprised & pleased to have come across this place!

Love this museum the house looks wonderful the lady giving us the tour did an amazing job ❤️

Pretty neat! Tour guide was so nice! And it was free. They have tours starting at 12pm, 1pm, and 3pm, although Google Maps says they close at 3pm.

Free tours on the hour about life during the beginning of the 20th century (1900's) for a affluent family in Fayetteville. The guild was cheerful and knowledgeable about the family and servants and the new technologies that changed how we lived.

I've been to the Poe House a couple of times, Love the history & the old homes from the period, how people lived back in this time, very interesting.

It was pretty cool to go into the Poe House for the first time around Halloween! Kids loved it!

I loved the tour and the interactive play.

Wonderful. Stephanie was a Fantastic tour guide. Want to go back. It's free, nice to donate.
