Home of Emily Dickinson, 280 Main Street, Amherst, Massachusetts

Near midnight, Dec. 10, 1830, Emily Dickinson was born in this brick mansion. Built in 1813 by her grandfather, Samuel Fowler Dickinson, one of the founders of Amherst College. It was the first brick dwelling-house in Amherst. Within this house and its adjacent garden she spent the greater part of her life, and here she wrote the verse which has given her so high a place in the field of American letters and recognition among the leading women poets of all time.
