Historic Deadly District Presents: The Poolesville Ghost Tour 2026

Our annual spooky historic walking ghost tour through downtown Poolesville Professor and folklore enthusiast Christine Hubbard will lead a hair-raising outdoor walking tour through the center of Poolesville, and tell the tales of dark histories and chilling hauntings associated with some of our oldest historic buildings. Early tours both nights (7:00 to 8:00 pm) will be family-friendly, and end back at the John Poole House, where a bonfire, s'mores, and hot cider will be waiting. Later tours (9:00 to 10:00 pm) and are even spookier and also end with a bonfire, s'mores, and cider at the John Poole House. These tours are recommended for adults and children ages 14 and up. Tickets must be purchased in advance. Our ghost tours have sold out in the past, so make sure to get a ticket while you can! Space is limited. All ticket sales support the preservation efforts and educational programs of Historic Medley District. **Participants should expect to walk approximately 1 mile and stand for the duration of the tour.
