DUE TO THE WEATHER AND FORECAST FOR THUNDER STORMS, THE GHOST WALK HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED FOR SATURDAY JUNE 29, 8 PM STARTING AT THE MUSEUM

CAVENDISH VILLAGE GHOST WALK: In keeping with Mid-Summer Night’s Eve, the Cavendish Historical Society (CHS) will once again host the Cavendish Village Ghost tour on Saturday, June 22. Meet at the Cavendish Historical Society Museum, at 8 pm, wear comfortable shoes and bring a flashlight.

PLEASE NOTE: IN THE EVENT OF A THUNDER STORM, THE WALK WILL BE POSTPONED UNTIL SATURDAY JUNE 29, SAME TIME AND LOCATION.

Among the sites to be visited include the Cavendish High Street Cemetery; Cavendish Stone Church, private homes as well as the site of the “Dutton House.” The latter was believed by locals to be haunted long before it was moved to Shelburne Museum, where the ghosts seemed to continue to haunt the building, staff and visitors alike.

The former Duttonsville School is thought to be haunted by children in what was once a classroom. The owner would hear laughing and sounds that a party was going on. However, whenever he opened the door, no one was there. Other strange occurrences have happened in the building, including a spirit teenager who sat at the end of a visitor’s bed.

No tour would be complete without a stop at the old Hickernell house, where for many decades it was believed that Mr. Hickernell had been murdered and buried in the basement.

Free and open to the public, donations are always welcomed. For more information call 802-226-7807 or e-mail margocaulfield@icloud.com
