Pamplin Historical Park & The National Museum of the Civil War Soldier is observing Halloween with an opportunity to experience “Voices from the Shadows.” The Park is offering this annual evening event on two nights, October 23rd and October 24th, 2026 at both 6:30 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. The tours are offered twice nightly and pre-registration is required for each tour.

Guides will lead visitors by lanterns through the park’s historic Tudor Hall area, to include a nearby cemetery as they encounter folklore that has come to life. Multiple scenes with actors in period costuming will bring to life the stories that both entertain and provide suspense. Encounters will range from a Sasquatch-like creature, the occult and even a duel between suitors.

Tours will be accompanied by sights and sounds that heighten the senses while breaking the silence of the night. Inspired by folklore and real events, the naturally haunting atmosphere of Pamplin Historical Park gives visitors a rare opportunity to experience the Park and battlefield after dark.

This annual event is offered on Friday, October 23, and Saturday, October 24 at 6:30 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. Space is limited and reservations are required to ensure a spot on the tour. The lantern-lit walk begins at the National Museum of the Civil War Soldier located at 6125 Boydton Plank Road, Petersburg, VA 23803. Admission is $17.50 for adults and $7 for children ages 6-12.
