Historical/Interpretive Information/Exhibits

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882) was a notable American poet. Although many scoffed at his work, which seemed aimed for the masses and most often read by schoolchildren, others, including Edgar Allan Poe, held him in high regard. His most famous works include "Paul Revere's Ride," The Song of Hiawatha, and Evangeline.
