What better time than twilight in October to grab a flashlight and join us for a walk through the historic Highland Cemetery. To add to the intimacy and atmosphere of darkness, many epitaphs are easiest to read by flashlight.

Join noted author and historian Ghlee Woodworth, a 12th generation Newburyport native for a nighttime stroll through the historic 1800 Highland Cemetery. From the graves of Newburyport’s Black residents to daring Revolutionary War privateers, accomplished artists, brave Civil War nurses, and ordinary Newburyporters, learn about people whose lives were recorded in stone.

Tickets are $10 for Museum of Old Newbury Members; $20 for non-members
