What Remains: Dark History

Back by popular demand, this crowd-favorite program returns for another year of eerie stories, mysterious artifacts, and a closer look at Fredericksburg’s darker past.
Join FAM’s Curator of Collections, Kylie Thomson, as we uncover artifacts that reveal the city’s eerie and somber history. From mourning customs and tombstones to deadly concoctions and possibly haunted objects, every item holds a chilling story.
Explore the history of local cemeteries, the devastation of war, the toll of disease, and more. You’ll even hear about FAM’s resident spirits and decide for yourself: Is Old City Hall haunted?
Cost:
$12 for FAM Members
$16 for Non-Members
