Review №1

This house is dedicated to the other Edgar Allen Poe (not the poet, but a local businessman). He was an important figure in Fayettevilles 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.

Ive heard of the Poe house but never stepped foot inside. I cant believe what Ive 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 its free and lasted about an hour.

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 (1900s) 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.

Stephanie conducted our tour and was very informative. She gave researched facts about the family as well as articles on the home that were either original to the home or the period. The Poe house is a MUST SEE when in the area.

WOW, WOW! Liz (tour guide) was amazing and knows her stuff. The house was a step in time. If youre looking for the never more, raven poet Poe; this is not his place. This is the brick layer Poe, very interesting.
