unparalleled document of America's highest aspirations in architecture,

the house is decorated with original furnishings and family memorabilia.

Tours offer a unique glimpse into the life of the poet's family, as well as into the

cultural and social history of 19th-century Portland. 2008 marked the

200th anniversary of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's birth.
