Details:

From 4:00-7:00 PM on October 23rd we are offering 3 one-hour long sessions, starting on the hour at 4:00, 5:00, & 6:00. Please arrive at the front doors of the Pump House a few minutes early to sign in with an event volunteer.

These one hour sessions will include a history tour of the Pump House and readings of Edgar Allan Poe’s work.

We are limiting tours to 20 people and we will be taking measures to keep visitors safe while inside the building.

• As always, we require hard hats while inside the building, which will be provided as well as sanitized after each use.
• As a Covid-19 response this event requires visitors to wear masks at all times, hand sanitizing, and social distancing where possible.
• The building is not ADA accessible and those with mobility impairments may find some sections of the Pump House difficult to maneuver. Please reach out any further information or questions.
• Kids are welcome, but are recommended to stay near an adult during the tour.
• And as much as we love animals, the Pump House is not a safe place for them and they are not permitted, other than service animals.
