Walking Tour – In the Footsteps of Edgar Allan Poe: A Walk from Poe Cottage to High Bridge
Each tour costs $10 for BCHS members, $20 for non-members. Contact The Society at 718.881-8900 or administration@bronxhistoricalsociety to reserve your spot. The tours generally run about 2 hours.

When Edgar Allan Poe lived in the Village of Fordham (now in The Bronx,) one of his favorite pastimes was taking strolls throughout the area. One of his more enjoyable locations was the newly-constructed High Bridge. Although Poe has been gone for many years now, his cottage and the High Bridge continue to serve as remnants of his beloved walks. Join BCHS educator Angel Hernandez on a 3-mile walk from Poe Cottage to High Bridge via Aqueduct Avenue. The tour will meet at the Edgar Allan Poe Cottage in Poe Park on the Grand Concourse and E. Kingsbridge Road. If you wish to take a tour of the cottage before the walk tour, feel free to arrive there at 10AM. Take the D or #4 train to Kingsbridge Road or take Bronx buses #1, #2, #9, #22, #28, #34, and MTA express bus BxM #4 from Manhattan.
