Looking to switch up the typical Halloween plans? Marietta’s Root House Museum is offering Guided Flashlight Tours that will give guests some thrills with a side of education.
This month, the historical home will be decorated as it would have been following a family death during Victorian times with curtains drawn and rooms adorned with black crepe and ribbons. Visitors will tour with only flashlights to light their way, and view 19th century embalming equipment, mourning jewelry and other historical artifacts showing how families used to mourn in the 1850s.
Tours will be held 5-8PM on Oct. 10, 17 and 24.
