Poe-se with the Raven

Edgar Allan Poe National Historic Site

Ponder the power of Edgar Allan Poe's poetry as you stand in the shadow of the raven statue. Don't forget to get a photo!

Quoth the Raven: Impress your friends and family with a photo of the raven statue. Artist David Caccia sculpted the statue in 1980. Made of bronze painted black, the raven sits atop a 12-foot-tall steel pedestal. With an 8-foot wingspan, the raven casts its shadow on the south side of the 530 N. 7th Street house. Yep, that's pretty awesome.
