2009 Season begins

Cooperstown Candlelight Ghost Tours will begin its fifth full season of operation on Wednesday, April 1, 2009, with an Opening Night tour beginning at 8:00 p.m. For the second straight year, spring and summer tours will be offered seven nights a week, from April through August. Each nightly tour will begin at 8:00 p.m., departing from Pioneer Park. As always, reservations are required and can be made by calling 607-547-8070 or by e-mailing bmarkusen@stny.rr.com. This year’s tours will feature new stories and twists to favorite old locations like the Christ Episcopal Church Churchyard and the famed house known as Greencrest. In addition to spine-tingling ghost stories, the tours will feature the history of the village of Cooperstown, including the exploits of prominent citizens like Judge William Cooper and author James Fenimore Cooper. Tour prices will remain the same as last year: $15 for adult and $10 for children (ages 6-12). Children five and under are free. Group rates are available. All tours depart from Pioneer Park, located on the corner of Main and Pioneer streets. The ghost tours are intended to provide both tourists and local residents with an opportunity to learn more about the village’s rich history of ghostly sightings and haunted houses, including Byberry Cottage, the skeleton at the River Street Wall, the ghosts of Pomeroy Place, and Otsego Lake’s Hyde Hall. .

The Cooperstown Candlelight Ghost Tours season will continue in September and October, with fall ghost tours being offered on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday nights. The September-October fall tours will begin at 7:00 p.m.
