In "Public Poet, Private Man: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow at 200", academician Christoph Irmscher (Indiana University--Bloomington) in celebration of what would have been the poet's 200th anniversary, draws upon original materials that are part of the Longfellow collections housed in Harvard's Houghton Library, as well as source documents (including drawings and photographs) archived in the Longfellow National Historic Site.
On Brattle Street, you'll find the Henry Wadsworth Longfellow National Historic Site, once home to the 19th-century poet, and also George Washington's headquarters during the Revolutionary War.
