Looking for something spooky to do this weekend? The Farnsworth House is hosting its grand opening of “Gettysburg’s Haunted Address,” Gettysburg’s only walk-through haunted attraction next to the inn at 415 Baltimore St. on Saturday.
Rene Staub, set designer and director of ACTS of Kindness Theatre Company, designed the attraction to not only scare, but educate with its elaborate settings that indicate customs and trends of the Civil War era, according to a news release detailing the opening.
Visitors will make their way through several detailed scenes complete with figures, sound and special effects. See a Civil War-era viewing parlor and a makeshift hospital. Witness an exorcism, poltergeist activity and a séance. Special effects create such experiences as a starlit sky of Devil’s Den to a hanging at Sach’s Bridge.
To make the attraction come to life, York theater technical director Joe Kress and his team used hydraulics and electronics. Think breathing bodies and floating objects. And New Oxford resident Lori Baker created Civil War dresses and outfits using historical patterns.
The grand opening takes place from 4-11 p.m. June 25. Tickets are $7.50 for adults and $5.25 for children 10 and younger.
