The Apalachicola Area Historical Society invites guests to join them for their annual Spring Historic Ghost Walk on Saturday, May 18, 2024 from 6:30-8:30 pm at the Chestnut Street Cemetery on Highway 98 in Apalachicola. This year's theme, "Coming to America: Early Settlers in Apalachicola," will delve into the captivating stories of the city's early settlers who journeyed across the sea to call Apalachicola their home. All proceeds from the Ghost Walk benefit the preservation of the Chestnut Street Cemetery.
All adventurous souls are summoned to an evening of intrigue and discovery at the Spring Ghost Walk to meet Apalachicola's citizens from the other side and hear legends and lore from the past. Hauntings will abound when local history enthusiasts don the garb and embody the persona of the cemetery’s notable inhabitants to tell their tale of life and death in Apalachicola from more than 180 years ago. Visitors are guided through the cemetery along candle-lit paths to meet some of Apalachicola’s historic citizens.
Tickets will be on sale soon at the Raney House Museum, online at http://www.apalachicolahistoricalsociety.org and at the gate on the day of the event. Admission for this unique and unforgettable experience is $10 for adults and free for students. The Raney House Museum is located at 128 Market Street, at the corner of Avenue F in historic downtown Apalachicola and is open from 10:00 am - 4:00 pm Tuesday through Saturday.
