Historic City Cemetery offers a spirited tour with local tales from the crypt

Ready for a spirited outing?

October brings out Sacramento's supernatural side, especially at its oldest cemetery. See for yourself during a special guided tour of "Haunted Sacramento."

Kicking off a busy month, the Historic City Cemetery sets the mood with this free event, always among its most popular tours.

At 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 6, learn about Sacramento's restless residents and most famous ghosts. While touring the tombstones, hear the stories that sent these early Sacramentans to their graves, but why they refuse to rest in peace.

These local tales from the crypt are a little easier to appreciate during a beautiful fall morning amid the cemetery's world-famous gardens. (For those who prefer an after-dark visit, sorry: The cemetery's annual Lantern Tours are sold out.) 

No reservations are required for "Haunted Sacramento." Meet at the cemetery's main gates, 1000 Broadway, Sacramento. Parking is available on surrounding surface streets. Wear sensible shoes; this is a walking tour.
