An Evening with Poe

Would you be nervous—very, very dreadfully nervous to visit the mansion after dark?

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.

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.

Do you dare stay the night? Discounted rooms are available in the mansion for the weak and weary.

$30/person. Registration closes October 26 or when capacity is reached. All sales are final.

Complete your visit with an overnight stay in the Mansion or one of our guesthouses ($110/night + tax). View rooms here and book online or by calling 217-333-3287.
