Buy Tickets to KTM’s Popular Ghost Tours, October 24-26
October 6, 2025
Ridgefield, Conn.— It’s time to get your tickets for this year’s Ghosts of Ridgefield tours! Keeler Tavern Museum’s (KTM) annual ghost tours run Friday, October 24 through Sunday, October 26.
Explore KTM’s historic site after dark as you follow your guide across our four-acre campus – prepare yourself for ghostly encounters and storytelling with a historic twist! This year, visitors will be welcomed by the “ghost” of Samuel D. Keeler, a local merchant who provisioned our site in the early 20th century. Up next: a series of haunted stops featuring the “ghosts” of men, women – and even a teddy bear?! – who lived and worked in Ridgefield in days past. Hear General Benedict Arnold’s account of the Battle of Ridgefield (before he turned traitor!); listen to the 19th-century tales of the eccentric Hermit of Ridgefield; meet the German-immigrant photographer Joseph Hartmann who chronicled town life with his camera; join former site resident Phyllis Dubois as she continues her story about living in Connecticut when slavery was still legal; and discover the creative contributions of 20th century artist Peggy Bacon.
Ghosts of Ridgefield tours run from 5 to 7 p.m. on October 24-26 only and are recommended for adults and kids ages 7 and older. Tours are exclusively outdoors, rain or shine, so please dress accordingly. Buy tickets here.
