Description

Join the Friends of Historic Riverview Cemetery for Picnic at the Mausoleum with Poe, an open-air evening of readings from the works of Edgar Allan Poe, staged on the lawn of one of Delaware’s most architecturally and historically significant mausoleums.

Bring a picnic, a blanket or chair, and non-alcoholic beverages to relax among the monuments. Local volunteers and Poe enthusiasts will perform selections from his legendary works—including The Raven, Annabel Lee, and The Tell-Tale Heart—reflecting his most enduring themes of love, loss, the macabre, and the supernatural.

The event is free and all ages are welcome.
