Lantern Tour
Explores Beverly’s Darker Side
Experience the stories of some of Beverly’s by-gone days on the upcoming
Lantern Tour of Historic Beverly. Beverly resident Karl Mulac and other
docents in period costume will lead you along Beverly streets sharing
history and local traditions related to some of the historic buildings.
“The stories on the Lantern Tour will be drawn both from known history, and
from some unexplained things that go bump in the night,” explained tour
guide Karl Mulac. “We will respectfully share the stories of Beverly’s past,
while exploring some family stories, folklore, and mysterious experiences
from the community.”
The Lantern Tour will be held on Saturday, October 13 and Saturday, October
27, at 7:30 p.m. The tour will begin and end at the Beverly Heritage Center
and will last approximately an hour and a half, with light refreshments and
discussion afterwards. Tickets will be $10 for adults, and $5 for Beverly
Heritage Center members and children under 12. Participants are encouraged
to dress for the chill of the evening and to bring your own flashlight.
Also on October 27, the Beverly School PTO will be holding their fall
carnival from 6:30 to 9:00 p.m. Activities will include a cakewalk and
silent auction at the Beverly Fire Hall, with additional activities at
Tygart Valley Ministries including a costume contest, pumpkin carving, best
decorated cake contest, haunted hay ride, pumpkin bowling, and a variety of
other carnival activities.
The Beverly Heritage Center combines four historic buildings into one
heritage attraction offering museum exhibits, gift shop, archives, and
visitor information. It is located in the center of Beverly, six miles south
of Elkins, West Virginia, on US Rt 219. Operating partners in the Beverly
Heritage Center are Historic Beverly Preservation and Rich Mountain
Battlefield Foundation.
Additional upcoming activities include Night at the Museum fundraising
reception on November 10, and Beverly Old-Fashioned Christmas December 1.
Off-season hours for the Beverly Heritage Center are Thursday through Monday
