Description

Looking for October chills with a twist of history and a touch of the unknown? This dramatic, immersive experience brings you on a tour of the eight-sided Armour-Stiner Octagon House and concludes with a riveting reading of “The Raven,” performed by Edgar Allan Poe himself. Along the way, meet the enigmatic former resident of the house, Jessie Clarke, as she hosts her annual literary salon. One of the house’s most curious figures, Jessie died in 1933 and much of her life remains shrouded in mystery. At the conclusion of the tour, experience Remember You Must Die, a curated exhibition from the Memento Mori collection of Ryan Matthew Cohn featuring objects ranging from ancient artifacts to contemporary works and examining the ways past generations confronted mortality through art, ritual, memory, and spirituality. Ages 12 and up only, please.
