The award-winning Historic Alpine Ghost Tours are back for this weekend only.
Now in the third season, the historic walking tours are scheduled Nov. 17-19 at 7:30 p.m. and will include a “spooky drink” courtesy of Reata Alpine and a nightcap courtesy of the Holland Hotel.
In June, the publishers of Austin Monthly, San Antonio Magazine and Texas Music magazine announced the Texas Travel Awards, and the collaboration between the Alpine Historical Association and the Sul Ross State University Theatre Department won for best “Under the Radar Activity — Small Market.”
Tickets may be purchased at www.bit.ly/sulross-theatre. Admission is $20 for adults and $18 for children 12 and under, seniors and college students with valid ID. Tours begin at the Reata Alpine and include stops at historic landmarks such as the Brewster County Courthouse, the Alpine Avalanche building and the Ritchey Hotel. Guests are encouraged to wear warm clothing and comfortable shoes for the one-mile walk. The tours are recommended for ages 8 and up.
“The tours are intended to promote the rich history of Alpine while also enjoying some ghost stories from the Big Bend region,” said Marjie Scott, Ghost Tour director and chair of the Sul Ross Department of Visual and Performing Arts. “And there may be some actual ghost sightings too.”
