New Mexico’s past is filled with stories waiting to be told—so long as you’re willing to spend a little time with the dead. Gather around campfires and farolito-lit paths as you listen to the captivating tales of ghosts who once roamed this land of enchantment and aren’t ready to leave. Our wondrous historic site transforms into a family-friendly yet spooky Halloween atmosphere, where every corner holds the promise of a ghostly encounter. Explore the historic structures and chat with spirits lit by candlelight, follow the farolitos under a starlight sky, roast marshmallows and make s’mores at our bonfire stops, and enjoy live entertainment with a brew or two. Beneath colorful cottonwoods and historic buildings, enjoy an evening of enchantment, where the past meets the present in a hauntingly beautiful experience. Come for fall colors in the sunset, and remember: when the sun goes down, the ghosts come out. Purchase your tickets here.
