Shed some light on the dark and mysterious American gothic writer when you visit the Edgar Allan Poe House & Museum. Famous for his haunting poetry and short stories, Poe began his life in this two-and-a-half story duplex. The home has been converted to represent and reflect the life of Poe and contains materials owned by Poe such as his writing desk, on public display. Fans of literature will appreciate this attraction.

Spend a romantic weekend at the 1840s Carrollton Inn, a boutique bed and breakfast located in a series of converted 19th century rowhouses. Relax in the lavish comfort of overnight rooms, featuring handcrafted mattresses, large whirlpool tubs, and in-room fireplaces. Create the proper mood with one of the special packages available–complete with rose petals and candlelight.

Since 1914, the Baltimore Museum of Art has housed an internationally renowned collection of 19th-century, modern and contemporary art. Even the building itself, designed to resemble a Roman Temple, is a piece of art. Art lovers must stop by the Cone Collection, which contains works by master artists like Matisse, Picasso, Cezanne, Manet, and van Gogh.
