The Farms: An Evening With Poe

If an after-dark visit to the Mansion doesn’t make you nervous (very, very dreadfully nervous), then you don’t want to miss An Evening With Poe on Tuesday, Oct. 29 or Wednesday, Oct. 30 from 7 to 9 p.m. Walk the halls and discover the Mansion’s secrets while hearing chilling tales from Edgar Allen Poe in each setting.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m., so arrive early and purchase a drink from the cash bar in the Solarium as you prepare for a self-guided tour. Actors from The Station Theatre will begin performing Poe’s haunting poems and tales at 7 p.m.

Tickets sell quickly for this event so register soon or you will regret it … evermore.

$25/person. Register here by midnight on Oct. 25. All sales are final.

Discounted rooms are also available for overnight stays. View rooms here and make a reservation online or by calling 217-333-3287.

If you will need disability-related accommodations in order to participate, please email owarren@illinois.edu.
