THIS IS A WALKING TOUR

Carson City’s intriguing and spirited history is explored and theatrically re-lived in our special Carson City Ghost Walk, focusing on the path Mark Twain would have walked when he resided in Carson City, with his brother Orion in 1863.  Guided Tours depart from the corner of Third and Curry Streets starting at 10:30 AM - NOON.   Each tour lasts approximately ninety minutes.  The Carson City Ghost Walk is a delightfully entertaining and enjoyable way to experience Carson City’s Victorian Era and diverse history.  Hear about lingering spirits of the past centuries, haunted and paranormal stories and meet Mark Twain himself, as portrayed by the incredible McAvoy Layne.  

Our 90-minute Tour features characters from Carson City’s past.  Part haunted history and part theatricality,  costumes are welcome on the tour.  These are spirit lead, guided walking tours of the downtown district and  west side historic homes and businesses. The tours leave rain or shine.  Please arrive at least 10 minutes before the walk begins.  There are many other events to participate in for Mark Twain Days:  https://visitcarsoncity.com
