Event Series: Poe at the Point

Poe at the Point

October 18 @ 5:30 pm8:30 pm
$68

Enjoy a glittering sunset cruise on Geneva Lake courtesy of Lake Geneva Cruise Line before docking at this historic Queen Anne manor for an evening of gothic allure and chilling tales from one of America’s greatest authors.

Upon docking, step into the historic Black Point Estate, a stunning residence that serves as the perfect backdrop for a night of eerie, ethereal storytelling. Join Edgar Allan Poe historian and author Joshua Dubbert as he presents three dramatic readings of the macabre poet’s work in the estate parlor. Tremble to “The Tell-Tale Heart,” flinch at “The Mask of the Red Death,” and brace yourself for “The Raven,”—if you dare! After the readings, guests will have the opportunity to engage in a question-and-answer session and explore the first floor of this gorgeous—and spooky—1888 summer cottage.

Cost
Adult (18-64): $68
Senior (65+): $68
