Less than half of the available tickets remain for this unique opportunity to tour the Historic Rock Ford mansion in the dark! Reserve your tour time today!

This October, we welcome you to come and discover the rare opportunity of being in the Historic Rock Ford mansion after dark. Will you experience the presence of those who, in life, inhabited these rooms? Our Board President, our Executive Director and our Curator will be leading intimate, after dark tours of the mansion in which they will share some of the many legends and accounts of ghostly activity at Rock Ford over the centuries. Some of the content that will be shared... is of an unsettling nature which is not for the faint of heart. Consequently, this tour is not recommended for children. Each tour will be limited to eight adults so early reservations are advised to avoid disappointment! For details and reservations, please visit www.rockford.yapsody.com. Tickets are selling fast for this exclusive opportunity! Tickets are $25 and will include an 18th century inspired hot buttered rum served by the outside fire following your tour. (Non-alcoholic cider also available.)

Historic Rock Ford will not have a 2 pm tour time on Friday, August 28. We apologize for any inconvenience to our visitors.
