Ever wondered what it would be like to be a ghost?

Historic Newburgh, Inc. is seeking volunteers to fill the shoes of Ghosts and Guides.  There will be a volunteer meeting at the Tin Fish, Tuesday August 18th at 6 pm.

Ghost Walks features stories that are rooted in history.  They have been gleaned from old newspaper articles and from family legends.  This is an interactive encounter with history.  You will see and hear about the spookier side of Historic Newburgh.  After your tour, guest are invited to enjoy a hot cider in Town Hall. The Ghost Walks will run Friday, October 16th, 6:00pm-9pm; Saturday, October 17th, 5pm-9pm; and Sunday, October 18st, 5pm-8:00pm.

Participants on the Ghost Walks can choose between two different haunted tours.  On the Water Street tour, attendees will learn of river lore and some of our family mysteries.  The State Street tour focuses on Newburgh history, Civil War tales and the homes along State Street and East Jennings!  Both tours offer their share of history, Newburgh style.

The guided walking tours depart every 12 minutes from Preservation Hall (200 State Street) and each tour lasts about an hour.  Comfortable shoes are recommended for those participating.

Advance tickets are $8/adults and $4/children ages 4-12.  After October 15th tickets will be $9/adults and $5/children ages 4-12 and will go on sale mid September.

You may purchase tickets by calling Historic Newburgh, Inc. at (812) 853-2815.
