Beginning in 1949 (the 100th year after Poe's death) until 2009 (the 200th anniversary of Poe's birth) an anonymous visitor came to Poe's grave each year on the writer's birthday, leaving three roses and a bottle of cognac. By tradition no one attempts to follow the "Poe Toaster" and his identity remains unknown. However, it is presumed others took over for the original visitor.
