Hear stories associated with the museum’s buildings, such as the tale of a young ghost sighted by staff and guests in Bump Tavern and the mysterious early morning strikes on the blacksmith’s anvil. Some of the ghostly tales are adapted from the Louis C. Jones classic, Things That Go Bump in the Night, a timeless record of haunted history and restless spirits in New York State. At each tour's end, hold your breath as one of the Templeton Players dramatizes one of Edgar Allen Poe's classics.

After the last tour of the night, there's and optional recreated 19th-century seance “performed” in the style of the Fox Sisters. This is so scary it's not recommended for children under 12.

RSVP at 607-547-1461. Admission is $10 per person ages 3 and up - a séance is $10 extra for adults, $7.50 for students, seniors, and members.
