Poe's Death in Baltimore Bus Tours (Poe Festival Weekend!)
Why walk when you can ride with the restless spirits of Baltimore? Whether you’re traveling to town for the weekend or slipping away from the International Edgar Allan Poe Festival & Awards to seek deeper secrets, our October Bus Tours offer the perfect passage. Leave the driving to us—your only task is to descend into history, mystery, and Poe.
Poe’s Death & Westminster Hall Tour
Begin your weekend on a funereal note with the only tour that unites Poe’s mysterious final days with an exclusive visit to see inside historic Westminster Hall. Venture inside to see an exhibit celebrating 150 years of story and mystery at the Poe’s Monument, and then visit both(!) of his graves. Departs from the Lord Baltimore Hotel lobby on Friday, October 3, at 12:00 PM.
Green Mount Cemetery Tour
As twilight nears, follow us to Green Mount Cemetery, a sprawling city of the dead where Baltimore’s most storied souls—and some members of the Poe family—lie in eternal rest. This rare festival-weekend excursion also grants entry to our Raven Reception and Movie Night at the Lord Baltimore Hotel. Departs from the Lord Baltimore Hotel lobby on Friday, October 3, at 4:00 PM.
