The People. The Places. Their Stories.
Historic Germanna connects communities with Virginia’s past and present through its historic, natural, and cultural resources.
SALUBRIA AFTER DARK
UPDATE: SALUBRIA AFTER DARK IS SOLD OUT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT.
On Friday October 18, Historic Germanna will once again open the gates to Historic Salubria for a special, after-hours Halloween event. Amidst the eerie glow of candles, lanterns, and carved pumpkins, explore the 18th century plantation house in a new light. Join costumed interpreters as they lead you through various macabre tales that have been weaved throughout Salubria’s history.
Each tour will begin on the hour, with the first tour at 6pm and the last one at 9pm. Tickets are required and can be purchased via Eventbrite. The cost is $15 per person. Due to the nature of some of the stories, we recommend that this event is for children ages 12 and up.
Don’t miss one of our most popular events of the year! This is your only chance to view one of Culpeper’s oldest brick buildings in a new light – after dark! Get your tickets now.
