Explore the battlefield after hours at our only nighttime event! Step back in time with our annual lantern tour program, “Spirits of New Market,” as we recognize the spirit of those whose lives were impacted by the Battle of New Market. You’ll follow your guide on a lantern-lit tour of the Battlefield encountering living historians portraying soldiers, townsfolk, and Bushong family. While interacting with the characters, you’ll be able to lend aid to the wounded, ask questions and experience the Battlefield in a whole new way.

Doors open at 5:45 p.m. This is not a haunted tour, and is intended for guests of all ages. Please leave your furry friends at home, service animals welcome.

Event Rates: $10 per adult (ages 13 and older) $6 per youth (ages 6-12) Children 5 and under are free, $5 for New Market residents (ages 6+) with proof of residency.
