Sinners, Saints, and Silent Souls: A Special Halloween Burying Ground Tour (Falmouth)

As Halloween approaches, spirits come out of the shadows, eager to have their stories told. Now is the perfect time to visit them on their home turf. Join us for an enhanced Halloween version of our popular tour of Falmouth’s Old Burying Ground, where we’ll explore the gravesites of fascinating characters resting in the town’s oldest cemetery. In honor of the season, we’ll also delve into spine-tingling tales of alleged witches, demons, murder, and monsters—all grounded in actual local history from our archives with a Falmouth twist. Falmouth has a spooky side—come and see it for yourself! Whether you’ve joined us before or this is your first time, you haven’t experienced a tour like this. Recommended for ages 13+ and those who can navigate uneven terrain.
