1. Wear sneakers. The ground outside is hilly and uneaven and there are tree roots that can be a little dangerous if wearing heeled shoes. 2. Bring your cellphone with your bluetooth. You must turn it off during the inside tour of the home, but during the independent tour of the grounds it will work more conveniently for you than the speakers they give you for listening to the historical information and poems about the grounds. Very interesting and worthwhile tour of the grounds! Don't miss it!

Really enjoyed this--surprising insights into Emily Dickinson and her family.
