Haunted Walking Tours Pave A Path Toward Halloween In Haddonfield

HADDONFIELD, NJ — History can be scary, especially in Haddonfield. The Historical Society of Haddonfield is hosting a series of Haunted Walking Tours leading up to the annual Haunted Mansion on Oct. 30.

All tours begin at Greenfield Hall, 343 Kings Highway East in Haddonfield. They will take place on Friday, Oct. 18 and 25; and Saturday, Oct. 19 and 26, 7 p.m. each night.

The kid-friendly tour (depending on the child) is a 1-mile walk with several stops. It runs for about 45 minutes, and goes over uneven sidewalks, brick paths, and some unpaved paths though a cemetery. Attendees should bring a flashlight.

Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children under 12. Tickets may be purchased at the door (cash only) or in advance at the Historical Society, the Haddonfield Information Center, or the Haddonfield Public Library. The tours benefit the Historical Society and the Haddonfield Public Library.
