Edgar Allan Poe anniversary events

edgar allan poe events October will be a big month for events marking the 200th anniversary of Edgar Allan Poe's birth, so we've created an online gathering place to get all you need to know about Poe and Baltimore.

You'll find links to events, a map of Poe-related sites, a photo gallery and other information about the genius who lived here as a young man and died here. You can even see how The Sun noted Poe's death on Oct. 7, 1849 at Church Hospital.

Thanks to The Sun's Rebecca Hyler, for pulling it all together.
