About Theodore Roethke House Museum

The Roethke House in Saginaw, Michigan is the main artifact under the care of the Friends of Theodore Roethke Foundation, a 501c3 nonprofit founded in 1999. The foundation works to promote, preserve, and protect the literary legacy of the poet, who ranks among the leading American poets of the 20th century and won the Pulitzer Prize. The house is open to visitors for events held throughout the year. Nearby, the adjacent fieldstone Stone House, once home to the poet's uncle, is the subject of a stabilization fundraising drive.
