All Hallows' Eve Haunted Historical Walk

Deep in the heart of Elizabeth Township, New Jersey, on a shadowy

stretch of Broad Street, lies a hidden gem steeped in American

history—and haunted by spirits. This mysterious parcel of land cradles

the historic Snyder Academy, the very institution that laid the

foundation for what would become Princeton University. But this is no

ordinary historical site. Here stands a church first built in the 1660s,

later rising from the ashes as the First Presbyterian Church in 1718,

after being twice reduced to rubble by flames. Its surrounding

cemetery whispers of the past, with gravestones dating back to 1687,

marking the final resting place of over two thousand souls. Among

them are war heroes from seven different conflicts, and until recently,

the forgotten mass graves of over 313 enslaved and free African

ancestors—now honored through the 313+ Ancestors Speak project.

On Saturday, October 26th, from 5:30 to 9:00 p.m., the gates of this

eerie site will creak open for "All Hallow's Eve: Haunted Historical

Walk," a chilling fundraising event to support the restoration of the

Snyder Academy. For the first time ever, the black wrought iron fence

that encloses this sacred ground will be unlocked, inviting you into a

world where history and the supernatural intertwine. Under the cloak

of night, the past will awaken as spirits rise to tell the haunting tales of

their lives and the indelible marks they left on American history. This

spine-tingling 55-minute walking tour is brought to you by Haunted

History Productions, masters of turning the past into an unforgettable,

spine-chilling experience.

Tours depart every 15 minutes 5:30-8:00pm Street parking is free and there is a parking deck directly adjacent to the Snyder Academy.
