Historical Haunts

Great Hall wakeGreat Hall Wake
On Saturday, October 31, 2009, from 6-8pm, Stratford Hall will host its third annual Historical Haunts program. Activities include ghost tours of the Great House, pumpkin painting, various Halloween crafts, picture-taking with Frankenstein and a witch, and an 18th-century fortune teller. Halloween refreshments will also be available.

In the 18th-century, when the Lee family lived at Stratford Hall, it was common for them to use the Great Hall for parties, weddings, baptisms, and—you guessed it—funerals. On October 31, a “Lee family member” will be on view in the Great Hall before being laid to rest in the nearby burial vault. Visitors will view this wake during their ghost tours through the house.

Halloween Activities
This is a family-friendly activity that is suitable for children and adults of all ages. Please remember to bring along your own flashlights, as it does get rather dark at Stratford Hall at night. Adults & children 12 & older cost $5; children 6-12 cost $3; and children 5 & under are free. No reservations required. All activities will begin in the Visitor Center.

Join us for a spooky time!
