- **Event Description**: Something is waiting in the shadows of Oak Shade Cemetery.
Join Uptown Marion, Linn Mar High School’s Venture Academics Creative Writing Class, and The Marion Heritage Center & Museum for a Halloween experience that brings Marion’s history to life after dark.

Students have researched the people, places, and stories connected to the cemetery and transformed their findings into original ghostly vignettes. As you make your way through the cemetery, you’ll encounter stories inspired by Marion’s past, brought to life by the students who created them.

Come explore the cemetery, hear the stories, and see Marion’s history from a different perspective. 

Family friendly costumes are encouraged. Come dressed for Halloween and make the evening part of the experience.

Tickets are FREE, but reservations are required. Space is limited, so reserve your time slot in advance. An at will donation of $5 per person is recommended, with donations supporting The Marion Heritage Center & Museum and its work preserving and sharing Marion’s history.

Please Note: This is an outdoor walking experience through a historic cemetery. The route includes uneven terrain, grass, hills, and low light conditions and may not be accessible to all guests. Guests are encouraged to bring a flashlight and wear appropriate footwear. Please consider your individual mobility needs when reserving your spot.
