American Writers Museum
The American Writers Museum is the only museum focused on celebrating the life and work of American writers. Walking through the museum, you will see great American poets, novelists, speechwriters, activists, and songwriters.
The AWM is a much more interactive experience than simply reading author bios or early editions of their works, however. Many of their exhibits offer digital engagement and hands on offerings. The museum even offers visitors the opportunity to become authors themselves .
