Join us for this ghoulishly fun activity best suited for 12+ to get in the spirit of the holiday season kicking off with Halloweeny fun! This stroll will take you from the Adam Stanton Home, 63 Main Street, Clinton past the historic 1801 Academy Building and into the Indian River Cemetery, a graveyard that is the last resting place of notable early American figures from local folklore. We will keep you captivated from point to point with our lively, sometimes humorous, sometimes creepy tales brought to life by the colorful characters themselves…maybe? Come meet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Adam Stanton, Ben Franklin and Jared Elliot among others still haunting these parts! All tickets $15. Please dress for the weather of the day; wear comfortable walking shoes; should be able to handle moderate level of walking along uneven terrain at times.
