BEACON – Ghost Tours

Additional Information

Our tour guide will lead the group by lantern-light through the streets of Beacon sharing local lore and legends and ghostly tales of haunted places throughout our area. Over 300 years of our community’s evolution will be shared by 4 ghostly spirits of the past each representing a specific time period of Beacon’s history. All proceeds benefit the on-going service and outreach to our community by the Beacon Historical Society located at 17 South Avenue, Beacon, NY.
