Halloween Ghost Walks

A dark night, a cool wind, an owl hoots and a bat darts past from the shadows. A dim light glows close at hand providing warmth and comfort--its the candle lantern you are carrying that lights your path thru the streets and lanes of haunted Bayfield. An eerie figure leers at you from the corner of the next building. Is it a Halloween lawn decoration or something more?

Treat yourself to this adventure thru haunted Bayfield in September and early October. During this time we offer evening walks with tales from Bayfield history as well as the hair raising true experiences that have been shared with us by local residents. Grab your lantern (we will provide one for the walk) to bolster your courage or to ward off spirits. For more information, click on Ghost Walk. Halloween walks on week-ends beginning Friday, September 23 thru Saturday, October 15 (except Sept 24 &Oct. 7 & 8) see calendar. Walks for private groups can be arranged with advance notice.

Cemetery Walks

What's in YOUR cemetery? Ever wonder about the various kinds of headstones, statues, engravings, memorials in your cemetery? An autumn walk amid colorful foliage thru Bayfield's cemetery will help acquaint you with this community as well as provide insight into your cemetery back home. The walks include Victorian to modern cemetery customs, the influence of the Civil War, insignia and motifs from the military and fraternal organizations and stories about some interesting local figures.

The fall walks are held Thursdays September 1 & 8 and Saturdays, September 3, 17, & 24 and October 1 and 15 at 2PM (see calendar) at the Bayfield Cemetery on Hwy I (Washington Avenue) about a mile west of the City of Bayfield. Meet at the back of the cemetery on the west side of the road near the Civil War memorial. As with all walks, reservations are required.
