Two tours every Friday night Oct. 4th to November 1st, 6:45-8:15 p.m. or 8:30-10:00 p.m. This guided tour shines a flashlight into the dark corners of local history. Staff share the true stories of the prisoners and staff who died inside the gaol’s walls, as well as the circumstances that landed criminals, vagrants and ‘lunatics’ behind bars. Hear about local true crime and alleged ghost encounters, and what happened to inmates after death. Includes free exploration at the end of your tour and the opportunity to use the gaol’s spirit board. Explore over 180 years of Huron County history through the tragic and sometimes strange tales of the men, women and children who lived and died at this national historic site. Spots on these guided tours are very limited because of space restrictions! Recommended for ages 12 and up at parents’ discretion. Subject matter may not be appropriate for all ages. Please note that upper levels of the gaol and attached Governor’s House require stairs and there is no elevator on site. Requires standing, as spaces are confined and places to sit at the gaol are limited. Guests are asked to dress for the weather, as the tour includes outside yards. $11 + HST Discounted $7 + HST available for students and members Tickets can be purchased at the Huron Historic Gaol in-person during regular daytime hours, or online via Eventbrite.  This is a special event outside of regular hours or daytime admission rates. Admission with a Huron County Library card does not apply. If purchasing a discounted student or Museum Member ticket, please be prepared to show your student card or membership card on entry.
  • Apple Canape Dinner & Picking at Dusk at Meeting Place Organic Farm @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm We cannot wait to host you for an evening of apple picking, live music, bonfires, an apple inspired, hyper-local canapé menu and locally crafted hard cider. This is an exciting collaboration between Dybosia, East Street Cider and Meeting Place Organic Farm- Friday, October 4th, 2024. 7-9pm. Enjoy the blissful fall weather by coming to an al fresco event here at the farm. Al fresco is Italian for “in the fresh air” and autumn is, in our opinion, the best time to move a party outside.
