Governor's Mansion After Dark

October 24 - October 25

Experience the Governor's Mansion State Historic Park in a whole new light with Mansion After Dark. During this "lights out" adventure, be prepared for bats, pumpkins, coffins, and Halloween ghost tales.

Mansion After Dark gives families a fun alternative to the usual haunted house. If gore and fright just isn't for you, join the Mansion docents dressed in traditional Halloween costumes and listen to their tales from the past. The stories told will represent the years California governors lived in the home with their families, and the ghosts that roam. Be on the look-out for an encounter with the Invisible Man -- what governor's long-lost relative wanders the halls? The mansion will be decorated for the harvest season to complement the darkened rooms for the tours.

Come dressed as one of your most beloved historical figures, in your favorite haunting attire, or just as yourself. Have your future told by a clairvoyant or sit on hay bales in the dark as a storyteller reads from spooky children's classics.
