Ghost Walk 2025

Thank you! by Susan Zehnder, Education Director

We want to thank all the volunteers, actors, and guides who helped us put this event on!

Cathleen Koons Wiggs as Julia Reynolds

It takes a dedicated group to make it work and the success shows when we sell out. This is the 19th year we’ve held the Ghost Walk, and over the years it has grown in scope and popularity.

We couldn’t do it without the loyal support of our members and visitors. What started as a humble idea to share local history now brings in over 500 people on 20 tours for a truly unique experience. 

Amanda Bailey as Lucy Diven

Since 2007, despite rain, snow, fog and even moonlight, we have shared nearly 100 different stories from the past. 

Cameron Dumas as Dr. William F. Goodman
David Gang as Dr. Nathaniel R. Seeley
