Brontë Parsonage Museum
The most evocative of Haworth's Brontë sights is the sisters' family home, a somber Georgian rectory dating from 1778 and containing original furniture (some bought by Charlotte after the success of Jane Eyre), portraits, and books. The Brontës moved here when the Reverend Patrick Brontë was appointed vicar of the local church, but tragedy soon struck—his wife, Maria, and their two eldest children died within five years.
The museum brings the family's story to life with enchanting mementos of the four surviving children, including tiny books they made when they were still very young, Charlotte's wedding bonnet, the sisters' spidery graffiti on the nursery wall, and portraits painted by Branwell, the Brontës' only brother. Admission is by timed-entry only, so book ahead.
