Interesting

We saw this on the trolley tour. It is interesting, but not compelling enough to return by bus. It is pretty visible from the street.

Very interesting place to visit. Besides Edgar Allen Poe's two gravesites (his original and the one he was moved to) there are other people of historical interest laid to rest in the cemetary. However, what interested me most was the architecture of the vaults with...More

If You Enjoy Old Cemeteries...

If you enjoy visiting old cemeteries, this is a great one! Poe is there (of course), but so are heroes from the War of 1812 -- including the namesake of Fort McHenry.

Loved this little graveyard

I loved being able to visit this little grave yard. There are two Poe graves and lots of information about him. There are also informational markers about other famous folks buried there.
