Edward Gorey's home is a gem and well worth a visit especially if you are interested in the artist behind the marvelous stories he wrote and illustrated. More

This is a nice take in if you're looking for something to do on a non-beach day. Edward Gorey was an animal-loving artist who was quite famous, and we are proud that he lived right here on old Cape Cod. You can get a guided tour of his house and some of his favorite things. It's interesting and different. More

Equal to his humorous, macabre books and illustrations is his devotion to the New York... More

Based on Gorey's books, plays and illustrations, I had pictured his home as a Gothic mansion filled with Victorian furniture and dark wallpaper. I imagined the walls to be covered with Edward Gorey illustrations, some cleverly... More
