The Dickinson Homestead's green grounds have transitioned from a Civil War encampment site to a giant monopoly board with "little white houses" springing up everywhere, bringing three dimensional aliveness to the words of Amherst's most famous resident, The Belle of Amherst, our own beloved reclusive genius, Miss Emily Dickinson.
"Little White Houses" meets "A Poetic Dialogue" in Sweetser Park
The topographical art project--40 little houses with Miss Emily's evocative words stenciled all around--encompasses the entire museum grounds as well as Sweetser Park, joining a previous art installation, silhouettes of Emily Dickinson and Robert Frost.
Also included in the sprawling display are a trio of historic neighbors: The Evergreens, Woman's Club and Hills House, all of which occupy the proposed Local Historic District, a controversial zoning article Amherst Town Meeting will discuss and vote later this month.
The Little White House Project opens Thursday, May 10 and runs through Saturday, June 30. Opening Reception May 12 at the Emily Dickinson Museum. Admission is free.
