Marble Orchard Ghost Walk

September 3 - October 29, 201

Begins at the 476 Center St., Lewiston, NY


Take a walk on the dark side to explore the grim and ghastly deeds of Lewiston's best... and worst. Hear classic local ghost stories, myths, true tales of tragedy, crime, murder and mystery. Secret and sinister, most of these events occurred a very long time ago. Yes, ghosts still haunt Lewiston! Step back in time with this historical and educational tour as our offbeat, theatrical guides take you in to the Village Cemetery. They'll provide you with an eerie, yet fun filled adventure as you learn about graveyard etiquette and tombstone symbols. Our creepy characters are the only concession to theatrics - rest assured, there are no phantoms leaping from the shadows to scare the faint of heart or give cheap thrills on these tours. Whether you're out to have some fun, or to learn some historical facts, Lewiston's Marble Orchard Ghost Walks show off the unique personality of Lewiston's rough-and-tumble frontier past as well as its glorious present. Rain or shine! Admission: $10 Adults, $5 for Children under 12.
