Today the Walt Whitman House, a National Historic Landmark, provides an intimate glimpse into the life of one of America's greatest poets, attracting visitors from around the world. Whitman's original letters, personal belongings, the bed in which he died, and the death notice that was nailed to the front door have all been preserved, as well as a collection of rare nineteenth-century photographs, including the earliest known image of Whitman - an 1848 daguerreotype.
The Walt Whitman House is located between 3rd & 4th Streets, two blocks east of the Camden Waterfront.
