Edward Gorey House - Museum in Yarmouth Port - 8 Strawberry Ln, USA

This house and everything in it is so magnificent! It was such a great visit being able to step into Edward Gorey's house and learning so much more about him from the wonderful staff and beautifully curated selections of books, excerpts, plushies and other important objects he collected. This is well worth the visit and folks were very mindful when moving from room to room. I picked up one of their cute car shirts that they do not sell online. Please visit the house if you are a fan of Edward.

One of the most interesting (and for some people, very difficult to understand) artists. I simply love his stuff. Visiting the Gorey house allowed me to understand how the artist who created the art that I've enjoyed for so long lived. It was fun and interesting and moving, and the docent was well informed and energetic. Highly recommended.

A great attraction on Cape Cod! Literary attractions are my favorites when I travel and I was so happy with this one. I love all the information throughout the house, the built-ins, the knowledgeable tour guide, and the quaint gift shop.

Great little spot to learn about Gorey. He was an interesting artist. The docent provided some wonderful anecdotes. Definitely worth it.

What to do in Yarmouth? The Beach is nice, and I wouldn't miss the Pirate Museum but even better than both of those places is the Edward Gorey House. If you don't have a copy of the Gastlycrumb Tinies or remember the BBS Mystery opening theme you might have to look into Mr. Gorey, and really there's not a better way than visiting his house that they have converted to a museum. The volunteers are awesome, and really, it is worth your time to just see the place where he created many of his works and go through the pieces they have there. It's a really great time.

I haved loved Gorey since the 80s. My mom introduced me to his work, I loved the Mystery Theater opening. I finally made it to the house. Mary Ann was our guide, she was awesome really kept our interest and very knowledgeable. The house/museum was so fascinating. I hope next time I'll be able to meet the kittens upstairs.

Some friends and I drove up the cape to visit the Gorey House. It was fascinating and fun. We learned a lot about the artist, his art, and how he lived.

Get your gothic fix at this Cape American treasure! The house is frozen in time as if the artist himself just stepped out… Like a Victorian tea party with a side of arsenic, it’s elegant, refined, and yet somehow on the verge of chaos just like Mr. Gorey's motley crew of animal characters, orphans, eccentrics, and the occasional ghost!! Strengthen your sense of impending doom with a visit today. 👻
