Ghost Walk on Main: General Admission
About the Event
Gather your friends (if you dare) and join us for a spooktacular haunted history walk through Uptown Centerville! Your experience starts at Benham's Grove with shopping from Heart of Centerville/Washington Township vendors and includes dinner and beverages on the patio before your tour! Be sure to stop by the gazebo to see the visiting owls from the Glen Helen Raptor Center. Historical re-enactments, new stories, and a shortened walk complete this event which sells out each year! This event is for adults only.
There are staggered start times and each tour is about two hours. Groups, led by a storyteller guide, will walk the same route. Tickets may be purchased through the link below. Attendees will receive a confirmation email as well as additional instructions closer to the event date.
This annual event is a fundraiser to benefit Friends of WCPL, Centerville-Washington History, and a charity of choice for the Heart of Centerville and Washington Township businesses. Hosted in partnership with the City of Centerville, Washington Township Town Hall Theatre, and Centerville-Washington Park District.
