Edgar Allen Poe Reading and Night Hike

As the sun dips below the horizon and the shadows of the oaks stretch across the prairie, Gabis Arboretum transforms into the perfect stage for the macabre.

Our Edgar Allan Poe Reading is a fun experience that brings the Master of Macabre’s greatest works to life at Gabis Arboretum. Along with enjoying selections from Poe’s most famous writings, you will learn about the historical accounts of his life and death, adding an intriguing layer of mystery to the evening. Stay for a night hike after the reading.

Meet at the Meyer Pavilion.
