Discover the History, experience the Mystery
Sit back and relax: This experience will allow you to watch a pre-recorded video featuring our amazing and talented docents. They will take you on a digital storytelling journey through the streets of Anoka, chat with a homeowner, and show you some interesting images from our collection. Tickets, $10. Link to the show good for the week-long window you purchase it for.
Live and laughing: This experience will allow you to interact with your docent and other Halloween-minded individuals on a Zoom call. Hear the spooky stories of Anoka along with images from the ACHS collection—and maybe even trade a few tall tales with your fellow attendees. Tickets, $16.
Original Ghost Tour: Enjoy our Ghosts of Anoka Walking tour in the traditional format—out on the streets! Tickets are $18. The event will occur rain or shine, so dress appropriately. We fully support your choice to wear a mask and social distance, but we don’t require it. Tour groups are approximately 20 people, and the route is accessible for wheelchairs and walkers.
What better place to go exploring for ghosts than in the City of Anoka, Halloween Capital of the World?
Stories abound in Anoka of odd happenings and eerie encounters. There is a house where the rocking chair rocks with no one sitting in it. A business in town has employees who won’t enter parts of the building because of the woman seen only in a mirror. Some doors lock themselves, displays that change on their own, cold drafts…..might they all speak of things unexplained?
These are real stories brought to the Anoka County Historical Society by the people who live and work in these buildings. Sixty percent history, forty percent folklore; these stories are just part of the fun you will experience on your Ghosts of Anoka tour.
Special Group Tours
We understand that part of the fun is interacting with your tour guide and friends in a private setting, so we’re offering private Zoom tours for $75 (150 maximum) or in-person tours (minimum 10, maximum 25 with a nonrefundable deposit of $75). If your group would like to book a special Ghosts of Anoka tour with a live docent at your convenience, please call us at 763-421-0600 or email Rebecca for more information and reservations.
