Capitol Hauntings


*The event has already taken place on this date: Fri, 11/01/2024
Which two United States Presidents visited the Capitol after they died? What happened to the "lost" Capitol murals and their eccentric artist? Does the secret demon carved in stone hold a Capitol curse? Does the night watchman who died in the Capitol Fire of 1911 still make his rounds? Explore these questions and other tales of sightings and strange things on our Special New York State Capitol Hauntings Tour. The tour lasts about an hour, but the chilling tales might haunt you forever.
