Annual Lantern Light Tours

October 11th, 12th, and 13th, 6:30pm. 15th Annual Old Wethersfield Lantern Light Tours

Old Wethersfield Lantern Light Tours return for the 15th time on Friday, October 11, Saturday, October 12, and this year due to popular demand, the society will be adding a third evening of performances, Sunday, October 13. Tours start at 6:30 pm and depart every 15 minutes from the Keeney Memorial Cultural Center (200 Main Street, Wethersfield) until 8:00 pm. Tours progress through the historic Hurlbut-Dunham House, First Church, and the Ancient Burying Ground and meet fascinating figures from Wethersfield’s past along the route. This year’s theme is “Drinks” and features stories of Wethersfield families who produced, sold, or opposed the sale of beverages.

Tickets are $25 per person and go on sale September 8. They can be purchased on line or at the society’s offices in the Old Academy.
