Take This Spooky Tour Through Yarmouth Maine For A Halloween Fright
It’s that time of year again! The air is getting colder, the days are getting shorter and the tours are…getting spookier? Yes! In a place with as much history as Maine, it’s easy to believe that our state is full of ghosty tales of a sinister past. This time of year it seems nearly every town is offering things like cemetery tours, but this one is extra-special. It include actors telling real tales of the town’s past. And let believe us when we say that it’s not all quaint buildings and small-town fun!
The sweet town of Yarmouth is a great little spot to visit on your travels through Maine. It's full of some of the coziest local restaurants in the state and, despite it's proximity to Portland, it feels like a sleepy hamlet of a town.
But at this time of year, the best kind of history to explore is the spookier kind! And that's what you'll find on this unique performance walking tour.
This is one part play, one part ghostly history lesson! Participants will have the opportunity to walk with actors from the Royal River Theater while they reenact the lives of some of the most historic townspeople.
While these are fictional stories, each one is based on real facts involving Hillside Cemetery, the Reverend Thomas Green House and the Old Meeting House.
While this isn't intended to be a ghost tour, there's just something creepy about walking around after dark with folks dressed in old-timey clothes. You can almost imagine that they're back from the dead!
Michelle has lived in many places, but counts Maine as one of the best. In addition to the smell of ocean water in the air on rainy days in Portland, she loves puppies, photography, funny people, the Maine Red Claws, traveling, fresh tomatoes, Cambodia and filling out forms.
