Where Poe Lived, Worked and Visited

(This page is under construction.)

It is virtually impossible to compile a complete list of places where Poe lived, worked and visited. From his birth in 1809 until the death of his mother in December of 1811, Poe lived with his parents, who were actors. Traveling up and down the east coast, David and Eliza Poe were prevented by the demands of their profession from staying anywhere long enough to put down roots.
