The Fantastic Terrors of Edgar Allan Poe

“Believe nothing you hear, and only one half that you see.” –Edgar Allan Poe

The short stories and poems of Edgar Allan Poe come alive at Coggeshall Farm, as told by the characters who have just witnessed them occur. At six different locations throughout the museum, tales of horror, revenge, obsession, and deception will be repeated in pulsating rhythm…like the beat of a heart.

Written & directed by PJ Griffith for Coggeshall Farm & Old Sturbridge Village

CLUES & CANDY
