Moonlit horse-drawn carriage ride through Plant Hall with stories of the building's ghostly legends, with private carriages for up to four guests.
Haunted Carriage Rides are coming to the Henry Plant Museum on Friday, October 23, from 6 PM to 9 PM. It's a moonlit horse-drawn carriage ride through Plant Hall, the museum's historic home, so you'll be rolling right through the grounds rather than just visiting from the sidewalk.
As you pass under the building's minarets and along the shadowed walkways, you'll hear stories based on the legends that have followed Plant Hall for generations. They're the kind of local ghost stories that stick: a professor whose presence is said to linger near the towers, doors that mysteriously lock and unlock during late-night rounds, the sound of unseen cart wheels, and unexplained cold spots throughout the building. It's a slow-paced way to see the place, with the stories filling in the gaps between the sights.
One thing to keep in mind is that each carriage is reserved for a private group and seats up to four guests. If you're bringing kids, any small enough to ride on an adult's lap doesn't count toward that limit, so it works for a small family or a tight group of friends. Since they're private, you'll have your own carriage for the ride rather than sharing with strangers.
