Walt Whitman House, Camden (must see)
The Walt Whitman House is a historic house and museum that showcases the life and work of American poet Walt Whitman. This modest, wooden-framed house was built in 1848 in the Greek-revival style and was purchased by Walt Whitman in 1884. It was the first house he owned and the last one he lived in. It was here that he wrote his last works. After Whitman's death, the house was sold to the state of New Jersey, and in 1926 it opened as a museum. Here you can see a collection of rare photographs, antique furnishings, Whitman's original letters, his personal belongings, his death notice and much more.
