A MARK TWAIN DAYS SPECIAL EVENT WITH CARSON CITY’S GHOST WALK
  MAY 11 & 12, 2024

SATURDAY & SUNDAY    10:30 AM - NOON

Though a spirit led walking tour of Carson City’s historical and haunted West side, this special event as part of Carson City’s Mark Twain Days takes a walking tour to the spots Mark Twain could have traversed in Carson City, 1863.

TICKETS $25 PER PERSON $30 AT THE EVENT

THIS IS A WALKING TOUR

Join the Carson City Ghost Walk for the second annual Mark Twain Days with tours Saturday and Sunday mornings. These 90-minute tours, led by Madame Curry and her Spirit Wranglers, leave from Bob McFadden Plaza at 10:00 a.m. The party lets off at The Brewery Arts Center where you can enjoy more Mark Twain Days festivities. Participants will wind along the 1.5-mile walk, discovering mysteries while hearing legendary stories from Victorian Era Carson City. Learn about the lives of saucy writers, brazen entertainers, and cheeky neighbors who shaped a young rough territory in the time of mining, mayhem, and Mark Twain. On the route you will meet a few of these unruly scribes like Sam Davis & Nellie Verrill Miguels Davis who were behind some of the hoaxes, offenses, and exquisite squabbles that defined the Wild West.

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
