Candlelight Tours

Explore the historic Stockade after dark, and discover the neighborhood’s haunted past. Guided by expert storytellers, immerse yourself in the ghost tales of this nearly 400-year-old neighborhood. Together we’ll traverse the ancient streets, encountering lingering spirits and flickering stoops, all under the moonlit sky.

• Tickets are $16. Choose either the "Colonial Hauntings" or "Ghostly Victorian" tour; the two tours feature different stories and venture through different parts of the neighborhood.
• Each tour lasts 60–90 minutes. Both tours cannot be done on the same night.
• We recommend you bring a flashlight and sturdy footwear to navigate the Stockade’s uneven sidewalks.
• The tour meets at SCHS, 32 Washington Avenue, Schenectady. Please arrive early so that you have time to find street parking and to walk to SCHS. Parking is not allowed in the YWCA parking lot.
• Candlelight Tours are co-sponsored by the Schenectady Heritage Foundation to benefit historic preservation in Schenectady County.

All ticket sales are final. No refunds or switching dates, times, or tours.
