Description
Join us for an informative–and slightly spooky–lamplight tour of York's Burial Ground. This year's tour highlights the history of Revolutionary York. As twilight descends, you will visit the gravestones of eighteenth-century townsfolk who lived through and participated in the American Revolution. Their life stories are dramatically told by costumed guides. .
Please note that this tour lasts approximately an hour and takes place outside after dark, so please dress warmly. The terrain is uneven, and comfortable walking shoes are recommended. This program is not recommended for those with mobility issues. Guides will have lanterns, but it is recommended that guests bring their own flashlights.
Tour begins promptly at the Old York Museum Center, so please arrive no later than 5 minutes prior to check in. Because the tour size is limited, if you do not check in by the start time of the tour, your ticket may be released to someone on the waiting list. No refunds can be issued within 24 hours of the event.
In case of inclement weather, the tour is cancelled and tickets will be refunded, or credited towards another scheduled tour.
Each tour is limited to 25 people, and you must pre-register online (this includes members). No tickets will be sold at the door.
