American Writers Museum is the first and only national museum honoring American writers and their work, with interactive exhibits and programs that celebrate the past, promote the present and inspire the future of writing in the United States. The American Writers Museum was created to celebrate the writers and their work. Exhibits showcase the writers who helped shape our history – writers of novels, song lyrics, poetry, plays, speeches, comics, journalism, humor, and more. The museum is a modern, interactive place with sights, sounds, scents, touchscreens, and original installations.

Featured are programs with award-winning and bestselling authors too promote today’s writers, by bringing them together with their readers. These events take readers beyond the page, to hear from their favorite authors about their books, their impact, the writing process, and the subjects they write about.

There’s something for everyone, from children’s storytimes and author talks to literary cocktail tastings.

Their adjusted hours of operation upon reopening are Wednesday through Sunday from 10 am to 5 pm. They will be closed Mondays and Tuesdays. They strongly encourage online ticket purchases prior to your visit to minimize contact with front desk staff . Masks that cover your mouth and nose are required to enter the building and the museum and must be kept on at all times. Maintain a safe physical distancing of six feet between you and other museum visitors at all times
