Come join us for a spirited visit to the 1897 Poe House and witness spooky vignettes complete with a few ghosts. This is not your traditional Poe House tour! Guests will be transported back in time, witnessing a series of short vignettes while becoming immersed in early 20th century cultural norms, music, and poetry through this scripted short play. This is a unique opportunity to experience historical theater in an actual historic home. For a more detailed look at the Poe House and family history, attend a tour during regular museum hours.
Tickets must be purchased in advance and are only good for the time slot purchased. Ticket holders should arrive at least 15 minutes before show time, late arrivals cannot be admitted once the group enters the 1897 Poe House. Due to tight space inside the house, shows are limited to 15 people per group.
Ticket holders should be able to walk/stand and navigate stairs for the duration of the show (30 minutes). This is not a seated performance.
