Halloween Tours
Thursday – Saturday
October 20-22 & 27-29
6:30 PM - 7:30 PM
Our evening tours through the cemetery celebrate the Halloween season! Groups of tourees will be guided down Funeral Lane by a resident specter who will lead them to hear the tales of those who have passed before. The tours are family-friendly and last about 40 minutes.
Actors from Acorn Productions and Portland Playback will bring the dead to life in the same spooky manner — with a mix of eeriness and fright for young and old.
Tours are first-come, first-served (so get there early as there are only 5 tour groups allowed through each night). Admission is $10 and $5 for children 12 and under.
This is the largest fundraiser we have to help keep the cemetery active and open all year long, please bring your friends and family for a spooky night of history.
We are so excited to have the support of our neighbors as sponsors this year: Ferdinand, Knit Wit, and J.Kelley Salon!
