Spooktacular Tickets Member tickets on sale July 1-9. General Admission tickets go on sale July 10. SPECIAL EVENT | Witches and Tombstones Spooktacular | Oct 31, 6:30 PM and 7:30 PM Join us on a special Halloween night as we descend into the witching hour. Our Halloween Spooktacular is an immersive experience that will transport you through our haunted history. A Spirit Guide – arisen for one night only – will escort you to the Isaac Stevens house where you will meet our weeping widow and discover the macabre funerary practices of the 19th century – an unfortunate regular occurrence for the Stevens family. As you follow your Spirit Guide, you will pass through the Ancient Burial Ground where they will delight you with tales of some of Wethersfield’s longest serving ghouls. At the Buttolph-Williams House you will partake in the trial of an accused witch and witness first-hand the hysteria that overtook 17 th -century Connecticut Puritans and led neighbors to condemn neighbors to the hangman’s noose. Your final stop on this journey through haunted history is the Silas Deane House. Unfortunately, you will have arrived just a bit too late for poor Mrs. Deane, but her ghost may tell you of the dark history of 18 th -century medicine that sealed her fate. If you dare to linger, your obliging guide will invite you to toast her soul with a spirited drink in the old house. The only tour to be given after dark, this extended Witches and Tombstones tour will haunt you long after you’ve departed. Tickets: Members: $50 | General Admission: $60 Tours: Saturday, October 31, 6:30 PM and 7:30 PM. Each tour is limited to 20 souls. You must be 18 years or older to participate in this tour. Valid I.D. is required for all attendees. Please note that this program lasts approximately 1.5 hours and requires the ability to walk some distances over unpaved and uneven ground as well as standing for periods of time.
