Join park rangers for family-friendly activities and games to explore Edgar Allan Poe’s connection to Philadelphia. Explore what places in Philadelphia influenced Poe, create your own scary stories, participate in Poe-themed games, and listen to a reading from an actor portraying Poe.
After "Poetober," stick around for "Movies on the Mall" with a showing of the film "The Sixth Sense." How creepy/cool is that?
