Eerie Ashburnham Ghost Walk (West)

West Side Stories

Our Eerie Ashburnham Ghost Walk: West Side Stories weaves the ghost stories surrounding some of Ashburnham's oldest buildings with the history behind the buildings themselves (and the people who occupied them). You'll learn about the 1916 fire at Quaker Oats and how it may be connected to the ghostly apparitions spotted by employees, the royal family member who almost put Engelburn House on the map, and the spirits - both tangible and intangible - that occupy the house of former brewmaster Henry Calcutt.

This is a walking tour that covers several blocks in Ashburnham. The tour sticks to the main sidewalks and is on primarily flat ground, but may not be accessible to everyone. Wear comfortable shoes and dress appropriately for the weather, as the tour will run rain or shine.

Please note that this tour covers difficult and sensitive material and may not be appropriate for everyone. If you have any questions about accessibility or the content of this tour, please email us at YWRtaW4gfCB0cmVudHZhbGxleWFyY2hpdmVzICEgY29t or call us at 705-745-4404.

The tour begins at the parkette at the corner of Driscoll Terrace and Hunter Street East. Please arrive at the meeting spot 5-10 minutes before the start of the tour with either a printout or screenshot of your ticket to show the tour guide.
