Grab 10 of your friends or family and dare to explore the darker side of Fredericksburg with a 90-minute guided ghost tour by History Walks through the city’s most haunted streets. Under the eerie glow of the moon, you’ll walk 1.5 miles at a relaxed pace, stopping often to hear chilling tales rooted in eyewitness accounts, historic records, and generations of local lore. 

 

This is no haunted house thrill — it’s a powerful, immersive journey into the lingering echoes of Revolutionary War battles, Civil War hospitals, and past epidemics. Bring your camera: previous guests have captured unexplained mists, glowing orbs, and shadowy figures that defy explanation.

 

Also included is a signed copy of Haunted Fredericksburg by WHM’s very own local historian, Michelle L. Hamilton, a fascinating companion to your walk through the supernatural side of this historic town.

In her book, Hamilton recounts ghostly encounters throughout the region — from the spectral woman in white who walks the grounds of Chatham Manor every seven years, to the mischievous tavern keeper who still stirs things up at the Rising Sun Tavern, and even the spirit of Mary Washington, tending to her beloved garden centuries after her death.

 

Experience the haunted history of Fredericksburg like never before — then take it home with you!
