Ghosts of the Past Daytime  Cemetery Tours 2023
Women in Rahway History

On Sunday, October 1st, the Merchants and Drovers Tavern Museum Association will present its 29th annual “Spirits of the Past” tour of the Rahway Cemetery. This year’s theme, “Women in Rahway History,” will feature 12 women from the pages of Rahway’s past who played a part in the history of the city, exhibited admirable attributes, or represented universal qualities. During this unique educational experience, groups are guided to gravesites where costumed actors portray each woman and tell their stories.

This year’s Ghosts of the Past tour is made possible with support from the Union County Board of County Commissioners HEART (History, Education, and Arts Reaching Thousands) Grant program.

Presale tickets are closed – but walk-ins are welcome! Tours depart every 15 minutes beginning at Noon with the last tour departing at 4pm. Don’t miss out – come visit our ghosts and hear their stories!
