We’ll explore the darker side of the Village with a lantern-lit walk to the cemetery, stopping along the way for surprising tales of everything from headless corpses to violent feuds.
Join us for an evening you won’t soon forget—just don’t let your candle go out.
This program deals with mature themes including illness, injury, murder, and grief. Spirit Strolls is intended for ages 16+. All minors must be accompanied by a ticketed adult. Tickets required for guests aged 5+. Dogs are not permitted.
This program will take place outdoors ​throughout the Historic Centre. Participants will traverse crushed stone, gravel, and grass on a one mile round-trip. The program will proceed rain or shine, although the route may be modified in case of inclement weather. Participants should be comfortable walking in low light/semi-dark conditions.
