This tour is SOLD OUT.

Join us for a members-only night tour exploring Edgar Allan Poe’s Philadelphia connections—by flashlight. Many have speculated that his tales were inspired by the gardens of Laurel Hill. Newly opened when he took up residence in the city, the growing necropolis would draw more than 150,000 visitors in one season alone…, surely, Poe could have been among those curious souls? Unfortunately, we cannot confirm or deny a visit from one of America’s most famous authors, but this tour will explore the graves of some of Poe’s friends, associates, and foes.
