In the spirit of 18th century gothic novels, costumed interpreters from the New Windsor Cantonment and Knox’s Headquarters State Historic Sites submit for your approval a haunting tale. The eerie night-cloaked grounds of the historic Knox’s Headquarters, the 1754 Ellison home, serve as a stage for this macabre presentation about ghosts and strange happenings. Performances every 45 minutes and this play is recommended for visitors 12 years and older. Reservations are required and we ask that visitors arrive in the parking lot at least 10 minutes prior to their scheduled start time. Admission is free. Knox’s Headquarters is located at 289 Forge Hill Road, in Vails Gate, New York. To reserve your performance time and for more information please call (845) 561-1765 ext. 22.
