Join this guided tour created by Master Storyteller Jonathan Kruk and discover the historic lore and spirits that linger at The Tarrytown Music Hall.
The Tarrytown Music Hall was built in 1885 during the Millionaire’s Colony Era, when mansions dotted the Hudson Valley landscape and families such as the Rockefellers, Goulds and Vanderbilts gathered at the Music Hall for its lavish balls, flower shows and concerts. Since then, the Music Hall has reflected the human spirit, mirroring the events of the town and the wider world. Along with Presidents’ speeches, it has hosted women’s suffrage rallies and endured several wars, depressions and pandemics, including those of 1918 and 2019. It is a vessel through which many people pass. And some don’t leave . . .
The building is an official site of the Haunted History Trail of New York. The Gotham Paranormal Research Society has investigated the Music Hall several times and has consistently detected paranormal activity, including intriguing EVP (electronic voice phenomena) audio files and EMF (electromagnetic field) readings. The Hall’s staff hold great respect and reverence for its spirits, and invite you to join them to learn and discover more.
