    Some have speculated that Poe’s tales may have been inspired amidst the graves and gardens of Laurel Hill Cemetery. Newly opened when Poe took up residence within the city, the famed necropolis could draw more than 40,000 visitors in one season alone…surely, Poe could well have been among those curious souls. This twilight tour of Laurel Hill will focus on what history has revealed to us of Poe’s time spent in Philadelphia–on the literature he produced, and of the friends, associates, (and enemies) who traveled within his circles, many of whom now reside permanently at Laurel Hill, including Henry Beck Hirst, Joseph Clay Neal and George Rex Graham. The program will conclude with a vinous toast to Poe in the wintry month of his 202nd birthday.
