Walt Whitmans Home in Camden – 1922-05-16


The City Council of Camden, New Jersey, has voted that the home in which Walt Whitman passed the later years of his life and in which on March 26, 1892, he died shall not be destroyed but shall be preserved intact on the site where it stands. There had been a suggestion that it be removed to one of the city's parks. This did not meet the Council's approval. The house will stand where it is and where it stood when Walt Whitman lived and died in it.
