Step into Fort Smith’s haunted past on a spine-tingling evening filled with ghost stories, eerie legends, and chilling history.
The adventure begins at 5:30 PM at the Bonneville House, where guests will enjoy heavy hors d’oeuvres and cocktails before boarding a hayride to the Fort Smith Museum of History. There, you’ll hear ghostly tales and take part in a hunt through the museum’s haunted spaces, complete with snacks and drinks.
From the museum, the hayride winds back through the Belle Grove Historic District, with a few new mysterious stops along the way. The evening continues with a lantern-lit stroll through the neighborhood, where real haunted houses are revealed and their dark secrets brought to life.
The tour concludes at The Clayton House, gathered around the fire pit for s’mores, cordials, and chilling ghost stories, followed by a final ghost hunt inside the house itself.
Please wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather, as portions of the evening will take place outdoors.
Must be 21 to attend
