Poe Museum

In the afternoon we went to Allen Poe Museum, which was the residence of a great poet, Allen Poe. I'm not very familiar with him before and only know that many of his works are quite great. Through this trip I know that he was born in Boston and died in Baltimore. His times was around early 19th century and one of his masterpiece was The Raven. His house was quite simple and hardly furnished, so I guessed that he must lead a hard time during his days. I also saw the model of Richmond during the 19th century which contained the State Capitol, Poe's house, St. John's Church and the Executive Mansion. Some of the places banned picture-taking, so I only shot a few which were allowed.

There was also a live concert there, which was wonderful. They played the old-fashioned instruments and sang a few interesting songs which made the crowd laugh a lot. Watching them playing, I felt that I was living in the ancient times.
