Visit over fifteen stops and hear the tormented tales of over 100 wandering spirits. Our newest tour is our "Cemetery Stroll," a popular two hour event featuring haunted stories, the history of the Victorian Era (and earlier) monuments in two of the most beautiful and historic graveyards in town.

We walked “Linda’s Loop”, which is a fairly easy hike around the preserve. Maps say it’s a little over a mile long, but it seemed closer to 2. Beautiful!
