SUMMARY:Halloween Candlelight Tours at Arbor Lodge
DESCRIPTION:In addition to Vintage Halloween at Arbor Lodge\, the mansion will be hosting Halloween Candlelight Tours on October 24 and 25 at 5:30 and 7 p.m. \nThese one-hour guided tours will lead guests on a candlelight tour through the grand halls and eerie corners of the Morton Mansion. As darkness falls\, guests will be led by costumed guides through the dimly lit 52-room mansion\, with only (battery-operated) candles and candelabras to light the way. Each room holds a story — some historical\, some mysterious — as the tour blends the history of ghosts\, some Nebraska history\, Victorian customs and superstitions\, and just enough spooky folklore to give guests goosebumps. \nThis will not be a typical haunted house experience\, but there will be some subtle theatrical effects for added suspense. The Halloween Candlelight Tours will be appropriate for families with older children\, teens\, and adults. \nA limited number of tickets will be available for each tour. \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE >

SUMMARY:Halloween Candlelight Tours at Arbor Lodge
DESCRIPTION:In addition to Vintage Halloween at Arbor Lodge\, the mansion will be hosting Halloween Candlelight Tours on October 24 and 25 at 5:30 and 7 p.m. \nThese one-hour guided tours will lead guests on a candlelight tour through the grand halls and eerie corners of the Morton Mansion. As darkness falls\, guests will be led by costumed guides through the dimly lit 52-room mansion\, with only (battery-operated) candles and candelabras to light the way. Each room holds a story — some historical\, some mysterious — as the tour blends the history of ghosts\, some Nebraska history\, Victorian customs and superstitions\, and just enough spooky folklore to give guests goosebumps. \nThis will not be a typical haunted house experience\, but there will be some subtle theatrical effects for added suspense. The Halloween Candlelight Tours will be appropriate for families with older children\, teens\, and adults. \nA limited number of tickets will be available for each tour. \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE >
