Pabst Mansion

Illuminating the Dark Tours

Fridays           4:30 - 6:00pm

Saturdays        4:30 - 6:00pm

This specialty after-hours tour, offered only in October, takes place in a dimly lit Mansion where themes of darkness are explored and unseen spaces are revealed. Visitors will be guided by candlelight as they explore the dark—from the literal sources of light throughout the home, to reflections on the darkness of loss, to hidden compartments and seldom-seen lower-level spaces. While atmospheric and evocative, this is not a haunted house or a tour focused on ghosts, spirits, or paranormal activity. Instead, the experience invites visitors to explore the Mansion’s architecture, history, and hidden spaces through the unique lens of darkness and light. The tour is 45 minutes and takes place in select areas on the Mansion's first and second floors, as well as the basement.
