Home to 19th-century poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and headquarters for General George Washington during the Siege of Boston (July 1775–April 1776), the Longfellow House bore witness to many significant events. The first use in the United States of anesthesia for childbirth was administered to Fanny Longfellow at the house. Famous literary figures, such as Charles Dickens and Nathaniel Hawthorne, were visitors, as were politicians, actors, musicians, and others. Listen to Berklee artists at this historic site during the summer months. (View Map(Opens in a new window))
