Hammond Castle Museum presents: The Masquerade of Abbadia Mare. Step back in time and join Hammond’s guests for a Halloween night of terror and the macabre inspired by the works of Edgar Allan Poe. Set in the very castle Hammond occupied at the time of the Stock Market Crash of 1929, these stories weave the Hammond household into Poe’s: The Cask of Amontillado, The Pit and the Pendulum, The Tell-Tale Heart, The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar, and Fall of the House of Usher. As you move through this room-to-room theatrical performance, you will hear spine-chilling tales presented by John Hays Hammond Jr himself, Irene Fenton Hammond his wife, Elin Watters their maid, Leslie Buswell their close friend, Leslie Hillman Hammond’s loyal butler, and Natalie Hays Hammond, Hammond’s sister.
