Haunted Walking Tour Of Historic Basking Ridge Village Returns

BASKING RIDGE, NJ — The Mr. Local History Project has created a new version of the Haunted Walking Tour of Historic Basking Ridge Village and is bringing back this fall classic on Sunday, Oct. 24 at 3:30 p.m.

The tour includes a stroll down the Witch of Winding Lane, as local historian Paula Axt and her ghoulish friends share a one-hour tour of the downtown village of Basking Ridge with tales of roaming ghouls, tainted ghosts and twisted stories that have been handed down throughout the town’s history.

Content is more appropriate for adults with more of a "Twilight Zone" feel. Children are typically less engaged. The venue is outdoors so dress appropriately and wear comfortable shoes.

The tour starts and ends at the Presbyterian Church cemetery. Tickets are $25 each. All proceeds from the event go towards the Mr. Local History Scholarship Fund.
