Ghost Walk tours around the historical heart of downtown Oakville with stops to view historic properties and hear family friendly tales about Oakville’s spooky past. Tours are led by a costumed Ghost Guide who will use a portable PA system. Each walk lasts approximately one hour and is generally limited to 15 participants per guide. Following the walk participants will return to the Oakville Historical Society’s offices for hot cider and cookies as well as the opportunity to review the displays and information available.
