If You Miss the Ghost Walk...

New Bern Ghost Walk 2007





It's time again for one of my favorite New Bern events, our annual Ghost Walk! This year will feature 35 "ghosts" from the Civil War Era with tours of 20 historic homes and sites. The ghostly dates are October 26th and 27th with a Sneak Preview of the Cedar Grove Cemetary, circa 1799, on October 25th. The cemetary is considered by many, myself included, to be one of the highlights of the tour. There are several areas of the cemetary where "ghosts" are stationed to tell their timely and sometimes comical tales. Don't miss it!


Proceeds from the event benefit preservation and educational programs of the New Bern Historical Society. For more information, times and pricing, visit http://www.newbernhistorical.org/ or call 252-638-8558
