As the sun sets west over the Mississippi River, the long shadows of autumn cross the lawns of Villa Louis, conjuring spirits of the 19th century. This lamplight tour beckons visitors into close encounters with historic figures of long ago. Costumed interpreters will hand out treats and spooky tales throughout the 26-acre site. Event begins at the Villa Louis Visitor Center and ends with a bonfire and s’mores.
