What better time than twilight in October to grab a flashlight and join us for a walk through this historic First Parish Burying Ground, final resting place of some of Old Newbury's first European settlers?

To add to the intimacy and atmosphere of darkness, many epitaphs are easiest to read by flashlight. Join Museum of Old Newbury executive director Bethany Groff Dorau for a nighttime stroll through the historic First Parish Burying Ground, established in 1646. Hear tales of murder, witchcraft, courage, and romance, and visit some of the oldest marked graves in Essex County.

Tickets are $10 for Museum of Old Newbury Members; $20 for non-members
