The Walt Whitman House is a historic building in Camden, New Jersey known to have been one of the last residences [Haas, Irvin. Historic Homes of American Authors. Washington, DC: The Preservation Press, 1991. ISBN 0891331808. p. 141] of famed American poet Walt Whitman, in his declining years before his death. It was listed in the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's Historic Preservation Office in 1971 (ID# 934) [http://www.state.nj.us/dep/hpo/1identify/lists/camden.pdf NJ DEP - Historic Preservation Office New Jersey and National Registers of Historic Places] - Camden County list (PDF)] , and the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1966 (NR reference #: 66000461) [http://www.nationalregisterofhistoricplaces.com/NJ/Camden/state2.html National Register of Historic Places - NEW JERSEY - Camden County] NRHP county listing] .
