Find out what lurks in the shadows of Dover’s Green on a lantern-lit Dark Dover tour.

Visitors will witness firsthand the chilling true stories of gruesome murders and whippings, and encounter characters whose legends have left their sinister imprint on The Green in Dover.

Eighteenth century judge Samuel Chew and the murdered servant Cooch Turner are just two of the specters who will make their appearance on this most unusual tour through the Dover Green.

Unusual twists include an unexpected retelling of the Poison Candy Murder tale from the point of view of the victim’s deceitful and philandering husband, who attempts to clear his name. The mid-20^th-century “Lonely Hearts” murder case adds a grisly but humorous touch to the tour.

Admission to all lantern tours is $10. Space is limited; call 302-739-9194 to reserve your lantern. Lantern tours cancelled due to inclement weather will not be rescheduled. For more information, visit destateparks.com/History/FirstStateHeritage
