Each tour is limited to 20 souls
Join the Webb Deane Stevens Museum 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 by 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. Our only tour event that occurs after dark, this extended Witches and Tombstones journey will haunt you long after
you’ve departed.
