The Paul Laurence Dunbar House in Dayton, Ohio, is the house where Paul Laurence Dunbar lived for two years and wrote his later poetry collections. Now the house is a museum dedicated to Dunbar's life and writings. Visitors travel to this museum to feel more connected to an author they admire. To encourage that sense of connection, the museum's curators have set up exhibits with furnishings owned by Dunbar. Such exhibits help visitors understand day-to-day life in the house where Dunbar felt inspired.
