Take up a lantern and hear the stories we dare not utter in the dark.

During October, we’ll be speaking aloud the tales of encounters–echoes from the past–experienced within Roberson Mansion. With a mix of Gilded Age history and lore, we’ll tell this home’s stories as we walk the same halls as this Mansion’s first and last family.
 

Tours are available Fridays and Saturdays during the month of October. Walk-ins are welcome. However, we recommend reserving a spot, as they do fill up quickly.

Tours are limited to 15 people to ensure proper social distancing. Face masks will be required at all times by visitors and staff.

Saturday, October 30th

11:30, 12:00, 12:30, 1:00, 1:30, 2:00, 2:30 and 3:00

Spooktacular is a day where families can trick-or-treat through the Museum, enjoy tours, and special hands-on activities throughout the day.

It’s when we’re alone that we can feel our most vulnerable–when our imaginations have time to conjure the most peculiar things.

Enjoy this October tale where one of our staff members had a run-in with an echo from the past.
