You are cordially invited to experience An Evening with Poe on Wednesday, October 28th or Thursday, October 29th. Walk the halls and discover the secrets of the Mansion while finding Poe in a different setting for each chilling tale. Would you be nervous—very, very dreadfully nervous to visit the mansion after dark?
Doors open at 6:30 to begin your self-guided tour or sip a drink from the cash bar in the solarium.
Haunting poems and tales from Edgar Allen Poe will be performed by actors from The Station Theater from 7-9pm.
Tickets to this ghastly grim event sell quickly, so purchase them now or regret it…for evermore.
$30/person. Registration closes October 26 or when capacity is reached. All sales are final.
