Lantern Tours 2025

Join us for the return of our beloved Lantern Tours in 2025! Despite some ongoing construction changes, the enchanting skits and festive atmosphere remain as delightful as ever. The tour kicks off at our Temporary Ticketing location and features a lantern-lit walking experience through a series of historical reenactments, including 17th century England, 18th century Ireland (spotlighting both forge and farm), and an 18th century German farm. The journey concludes in our Lecture Hall with refreshments and a final sketch set in 1850s Virginia. Prepare for an outdoor adventure that will take place rain or shine, and dress accordingly! Tours depart every half hour from 5:30 to 8:00 PM, lasting approximately an hour and a half. Tickets are now on sale at: https://frontierculturemuseum.shop.koronaevent.com/en/offers/t568.
