Join us for a panel discussion on some of the eerie happenings and hauntings in Muncie and Delaware County history. Now in its sixth year, this program features panelists who present new and intriguing information each time.
You’ll see historic photographs, maps, newspaper articles, and hear ghost stories from Muncie’s past. Refreshments will be served after the program.
Panelists:
- Melissa Gentry, Supervisor, Map Collection, Ball State University Libraries
- Sara McKinley, Carnegie Library Manager and the Archivist for Muncie Public Library
- Susan Smith, Archivist, Minnetrista Museum and Gardens
- Karen Vincent, Executive Director, Delaware County Historical Society and Delaware County Historian
Learn more about Muncie’s rich and fascinating history by taking a guided tour through a portion of historic Beech Grove Cemetery. Reenactors positioned along the route will bring local historic figures back to life!
Tours are approximately 1 mile, generally leave on the half hour and are limited to groups of 20.
Tickets can be purchased at Eventbrite: or available to purchase at the Main Gate the day of the event until 6:30pm. Children under the age of 12 accompanied by an adult are admitted free.
Refreshments will be available for guests as they wait for the tours to depart.
Guests can test their fact-or-fiction skills by playing a round of Dueling Historians in the Chapel.
This is an outdoor, family-friendly event which does require walking and taking some steps on uneven ground.
Accommodation can be made. Please reach out to the Old West End’s Facebook page, email: oldwestend@gmail.com or text or leave a message at 765-216-5117.
Should the event be postponed due to inclement weather, our rain date is October 12th. Tickets will be transferred to that date (or, if requested, refunded). Eventbrite will, however, retain their fee. All ticket holders will receive an email (sent to the address provided to us) as early as possible should we move the event to the 12th.
Parking will be available across from the main cemetery gate. Please take caution when crossing Kilgore. Accommodation for those needing parking accessibility will be made.
Proceeds will benefit the neighborhood and the cemetery Preservation Fund.
