This special Old Burying Ground Tour will take place on Saturday, November 1, in timed groupings at 4:00, 4:30, 5:00 and 5:30 p.m. The tour coincides with Allhallowtide, the three-day period dedicated to remembering the departed. Our tribute will bring to life fascinating tales of those laid to rest in Beaufort’s Old Burying Ground. Tickets are $22 for adults and $12 for ages 6-12 and are available for purchase online or in the Old Beaufort Shop until sold out. While the BHA hosts tours of the Old Burying Ground year-round, Voices of the Past offers a unique experience. Guests will be assigned a Caretaker Guide who will provide safe passage through the ground’s winding paths by lantern light. Expect friendly and storied encounters with spirits at select gravesites who have long awaited your visit. This year the tour will be followed by a Day of the Dead Kachina parade at 6 p.m. beginning at the Old Burying Ground and making its way to Middle Lane for an additional celebration of ancestors. PLEASE NOTE: This tour, parade, and the Middle Lane event honor the past and are not intended in any way to frighten or evoke fear.
Each tour will last roughly 45 minutes. We can only welcome between 150 to 200 guests, so be sure to reserve your spot by time slot soon. Tickets are on sale now by calling 252-728-5225, visiting our website, or stopping by the Old Beaufort Shop, located on the grounds of the Beaufort Historic Site at 130 Turner Street.
Physical tickets will be available for pickup at the Welcome Center before the event or on the day of the event.
