What author’s homes do you have in your area?

I love visiting historic homes, especially the former homes of authors. Just after the new year, I toured Louisa May Alcott’s Orchard House in Concord MA. The built-in desk where she wrote Little Women is still there. Nathaniel Hawthorne and Ralph Waldo Emerson lived nearby. Their houses offer guided tours as well. Walden Pond is also in town and has a replica of Henry David Thoreau’s cabin. There are other interesting sites to see, but these are my favorites.

So, any ideas for places I should visit in your neighborhood?
