Hudson Valley Cemetery Tours For Full Moon & Halloween
Looking for something different to do in the days leading up to Halloween 2020 and the second full moon of October? How about exploring some local history and taking a cemetery tour with a few of your friends?
If you are even on the fence of checking out a particular one, you should go ahead and purchase your tickets as these things (even in COVID times) have a tendency to sell out.
Here are just a few of the ones that are scheduled to take place this week:
- The Pine Plains Free Library and The Little Nine Partners Historical Society are holding the 2020 Evergreen Cemetery Lantern Tours Annual Fundraising Event on 10/30/2020. Here is a link to the info. It is sold out.
- The Friends of Clermont & Clermont State Historic Site is holding an event on 10/31/2020, that is free to attend, but you will need to register in advance. The event is called, From Scripture to Séance: The History of Halloween in the Livingston Family
- The Old Dutch Church in Kingston, hosts special cemetery tours every Saturday in October and the rest of the year by appointment. They host a one-hour appointment and even invite paranormal investigators or "Ghost Hunters" to bring their equipment along. For more details, click here. Note that the Old Dutch Church is also a part of the Haunted History Trail of New York State.
- If New Paltz is more convenient for you, The Haunted Historic Huguenot Trail might be more your speed or more chills for you. This particular trail focuses on 7 different homes, each with its own haunted past. Group tours available, reservations in advance. This is also on the Haunted History Trail of New York State.
