Put on your favorite costume and join us for Terrifically Terrifying Treasures, a special Halloween tour on Thursday, Oct. 31, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.

The tour will highlight the eerie side of some favorites from the Stanley collection, and also be an opportunity to view special items pried from the darkest corners of our storage vault! Artwork featured on this tour will cover a variety of mediums that depict haunting landscapes, traditions of burial, ghostly apparitions, witchy abstractions, mythical monsters, and iconic Halloween imagery.

This tour will cover sensitive subjects and is recommended for ages 15 years old and up.

Terrifically Terrifying Treasures will be led by Jessica Moore, an Iowa City native, who joined the docent program in 2022. Jessica began crafting the tour while visiting the Berkshires last winter on an historic ghost tour of Ventfort Hall, a gilded age mansion. Moore thought the combination of historic facts and spooky stories were a fun twist for a traditional tour.

This tour is part of the Sundays with the Docents program, where Stanley docents create unique tours to share with audiences throughout the year.. Walk-ins are welcome on the tour, but using the sign up is strongly recommended as tours are capped at 20 participants. We also encourage tour participants to wear costume to join in the festivities.
