WHS presents The 15th Annual Old Wethersfield Lantern Light Tours

Join Wethersfield Historical Society for the 15^th Annual Old Wethersfield Lantern Light Tours on Friday, October 11, Saturday, October 12, andSunday, October 13. Characters on this year’s tours are drawn from the tales of real people from Wethersfield’s past whose families produced, sold, or opposed the sale of beverages. Tours depart from the Keeney Memorial Cultural Center(200 Main Street) every fifteen minutes between 6:30pm and 8:00pm. Tours will progress through the historic Hurlbut-Dunham House, First Church, and the Ancient Burying Ground.

This popular event sells out every year. Be sure and get your tickets early so you won’t miss out on this uniquely “Wethersfield” event. While we have added a third evening of performances, quantities are limited.

Tickets are $25.00 and are on sale now. Tickets can be purchased on EventBrite or in person at the Old Academy (150 Main Street) between 10am and 4pm, Tuesday through Friday. Ticket quantities are limited to 21 per tour, so get your tickets early. In the event of inclement weather, provisions have been made to conduct these tours indoors. There is no rain date.
