Driving to visit Poe house

Question

If we are planning to drive to visit, is there secure parking nearby? Or are there any other recommendations on how to get there? Thanks very much. Bob

Answer

The Edgar Allan Poe House & Museum is located in Baltimore’s historic Mount Vernon neighborhood, which is walkable and generally safe. If you are planning to drive, there are a few options for parking nearby.

On-street parking is available around the Mount Vernon area, but it can be limited and may require coins or mobile payment. Make sure to check signage for time limits and restrictions.

For more secure and convenient parking, you can use nearby garages. Some recommended options include:

Lexington Market Garage – about a 10-minute walk
War Memorial Garage – located near the War Memorial Plaza, approximately a 5-minute walk
Maryland Historical Society Parking – sometimes available for visitors, check ahead

Other transportation options if you prefer not to drive include:

Rideshare services like Uber or Lyft, which can drop you off directly at the museum
Public transportation via Baltimore’s Metro Subway or local buses; the Mount Vernon stop is closest
Walking if you are staying nearby in the Mount Vernon or downtown area

Visiting during daytime hours is best for both safety and convenience, and planning ahead for parking can help make the trip smoother, especially on weekends or busy tourist days.
