Professor and folklore enthusiast Christine Rai will lead a hair-raising outdoor walking tour through the center of Poolesville, and tell the tales of dark histories and chilling hauntings associated with some of our oldest historic buildings. This walking ghost tour throughout Downtown Poolesville will take participants for an approximate 1 mile walk, standing for the duration of the tour.
Early tours (6:00 – 7:00 pm) are family-friendly, and end back at the John Poole House, where a bonfire and hot cider will be waiting. Later tours (8:00 – 9:15 pm) are even spookier and also end with a bonfire and cider at the John Poole House. These tours are for adults and children ages 15 and up. Tickets must be purchased in advance and go for $10 for children 5-11 and $20 for adults (children under 5 are free). The ghost tours have sold out in the past, so make sure to get a ticket while you can! Space is limited. All ticket sales support the preservation efforts and educational programs of Historic Medley District.
