Step back in time to November 17th, 1912 when the body of local tour guide Patrick Buckley was found on the grounds of the Braddock House. At this walking scavenger hunt around Old Town, you’ll explore Buckley’s tour haunts and retrace the steps he took that tragic night to determine if this was a dreadful accident or a malicious murder. Your group can enjoy a variety of 1912 Halloween Games and activities after you complete your hunt. Time slots are every 10 minutes with the last group leaving at 7:40pm. Registration is highly recommended but not required.
Please note that this program will take participants through parts of Old Town Alexandria that have uneven walking surfaces so wearing appropriate shoes is a must. This program will take place rain or shine and is outside so please dress for the weather.
