About this event

    These hour and a half long tours allow visitors to experience Ringwood Manor after dark on the longest day of the year! Similar to our popular autumn event, guides lead groups through the interior of the historic house, telling the various legends and lore about the site, ending with a lantern-lit walk down to the cemetery on the property. The sun will just be setting as the 7:00 pm tour heads to the cemetery at dusk, while the 8:00 pm, 9:00 pm, & 10:00pm tours will have a spookier walk as darkness descends.
