About American Writers Museum
The American Writers Museum's mission is to engage the public in celebrating American writers and exploring their influence on our history, our identity, our culture and our daily lives.
American writing is distinctive, diverse, and comes in many forms from across the nation. As the only museum devoted to American writers and their works, AWM connects visitors with their favorite authors and writings from more than five centuries, while inspiring the discovery of new works of every type – poetry, lyrics, speeches, drama, fiction, nonfiction, journalism, and more.
