The James Whitcomb Riley Museum Home is a true preservation of the nineteenth-century home the great "Hoosier Poet," James Whitcomb Riley, resided in the last twenty-three years of his life. The Home opened to the public in 1922, and has offered a glimpse into the history of Riley and his Victorian world for over one hundred years. The home features the same furnishings and ornate décor Riley enjoyed during his lifetime. Visitors to our Museum Home will see beautiful hand-painted ceilings, the desk where Riley penned some of his most well known works such as Little Orphant Annie and The Raggedy Man, and a variety of other treasures. Please visit the Museum Home soon and learn about the life and legacy of James Whitcomb Riley, the Indiana poet who helped define what it meant to be a Hoosier.
