Enjoy a sunset cruise on Geneva Lake courtesy of Lake Geneva Cruise Line before docking at this historic Queen Anne estate for a spooky night of strange tales from one of America’s greatest authors. Edgar Allan Poe historian and author Joshua Dubbert will present three dramatic readings of Poe’s work in the parlor of Black Point Estate and Gardens. Tremble to “The Tell-Tale Heart,” “The Mask of the Red Death,” and “The Raven,” if you dare! This evening event will be sure to get you into the Halloween spirit. A question-and-answer session will follow the readings, and guests will have a chance to explore the first floor of this 1888 summer cottage.
