== Legacy == Whitman died on March 26, 1892, in Camden, his tomb there marking the region's permanent connection to one of American literature's foundational figures. His influence on subsequent poetry—his free verse, his democratic vision, his frank treatment of body and sexuality—transformed what American poetry could be. The Walt Whitman House in Camden and the Walt Whitman Bridge connecting Philadelphia to New Jersey preserve his name in the landscape he celebrated. Whitman represents what the Philadelphia region could attract and nurture, his final decades demonstrating that the city and its environs could support literary greatness even when origins lay elsewhere.<ref name="loving"/>
