Friday the 13th Candlelight Tours at Arbor Lodge

  • Arbor Lodge State Historical Park 2600 Arbor Avenue Nebraska City, NE, 68410 United States (map)

Choose a 5:00 p.m. or 7:00 p.m. tour and step into the shadows of history with a guided flashlight tour through the grand halls and eerie corners of Arbor Lodge Mansion.

As darkness falls, guests are led by costumed guides through the dimly lit 52-room mansion, with only a candle to light the way. What is the history of Friday 13th? Why are we fascinated by "Ghost Stories"?

Each room holds a story — some historical, some mysterious — as the tour blends real Nebraskahistory with just enough spooky folklore to give guests goosebumps. Hear whispers of the past,creaking floorboards, and unexplained chills as you explore antique-filled parlors, shadowystaircases, and hidden passageways once walked by the Morton family.

This one-hour experience is appropriate for families with older kids, teens, and adults.
