At this time, we don’t know if the Poe House will be open to the public during the birthday weekends. Normally this time is used for repairs and renovations. A decision to open or close the house will be made in early January.
The purpose of this celebration is to recognize and honor the genius of Edgar Allan Poe. We do this through unique theatrical performances, classical and period music, bagpipe tributes, revealing talks, one of a kind exhibitions and the always popular Toast to Poe. Some of the finest Poe impersonators have appeared on our stage. The spirit of Poe is always with us!
PLEASE NOTE: This page is for the Poe Birthday Celebration only! Please do not email requests for school reports. If you are seeking information on the life and works of Poe, we highly recommended looking at our links page for links to some excellent sites. Included in the list is The Poe Society website, which is our recommended site for accurate, fair, objective information on Poe, his life and works. It has our 5 star rating.
This webpage will be updated on an "as needed basis." Please check back for changes and updates.
