Overview

Wander through downtown Traverse City by lantern-light, tracing the city’s origins, history, architecture and the ghost stories.

This is a 100% outdoor walking tour, rich in storytelling — part history, part local hauntings & lore. At the end, we visit the grounds of what was once Traverse City’s first cemetery. Though the graves were relocated long ago, the land still holds its memory… & some say, more than memory. ️Please note no public restrooms at meet-up location. Humor is found on this tour. The intro to ghost hunting is the last 5 minutes of the tour. Best For: History lovers, ghost-story enthusiasts, families seeking a spooky-yet-informative evening.
