Description:
The Wilderness Road Regional Museum presents their 2024 Spirits Along the Wilderness Road Wagon Ride on Sunday, October 22, 2023.

A good history lesson doesn't have to be scary. Each October the "Spirits" along the Wilderness Road in Newbern get restless to share the rich history of the Historic Village.

Join them for a wagon ride into the past. Along the way you meet spirits that once trod the Wilderness Road such as Colonel William Christian, Storekeeper Henry Hance, Lt. Daniel Howe and his Tory bride Nancy, Letitia Preston Floyd, and many others.

The cost is a $15.00 donation per person. Children 5 & under who can sit on a parent's lap are free.

Please register online at https://givebutter.com/kNpQt0 or pay on PayPal at https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=69FU7TD983CBU then reach out to secure your timeslot by emailing wrrm5240@gmail.com. Advance registrations are required.

Each wagon ride is 30 minutes with limited and reserved time slots. The last wagon ride leaves at 5:30 PM.

Prior to your trip into the past check in at the log kitchen to sip fresh apple cider, make a besom from museum ground broom corn, or create your own corn shuck doll.

We promise you will have a howling good time in Historic Newbern!
