Candlelight Tours 2025

Join Old City Cemetery Museums & Arboretum for our 18th season of Candlelight Tours, one of Virginia's premier fall events. Your Spirit Guide will lead you on a fire-lit trail through the cemetery's nearly 220-year-old grounds, where you'll meet figures from Lynchburg's past. Portrayed by professional performers from the region's theater community, these individuals will recount the tails of their lives - and their deaths. You're sure to experience living history like never before.

Tickets go on sale September 2nd. Don't delay - they sell fast.
$27/adults, $15/children 12 and under. Not recommended for children under 8.

Can't walk the grounds? Reserve your spot at one of our SEATED, accessible matinee shows, where the cast comes to you and history comes alive on stage.
