Scary Theatrics at Knox’s Headquarters

September 30, 2019 by Editorial Staff Leave a Comment

Knoxs Headquarters Halloween eventOver the years many staff members at Knox’s Headquarters have claimed to have seen spectral visages. Whether it was a passing glimpse out of the corner of their eye or just an uncomfortable lump in their stomach, they could not help, but feel, at times, that someone was watching them.  Practical thinkers dismissed these claims as the products of vivid imaginations or illogical fear.

In the spirit of 18th century gothic novels, the night-cloaked grounds of the historic Knox’s Headquarters, the 1754 Ellison home, will serve as a stage for a macabre presentation about ghosts and strange happenings.

On Saturday, October 19th, costumed interpreters from the New Windsor Cantonment and Knox’s Headquarters State Historic Sites will present 45 minute theatrical presentations, between 7 and 10:30 pm.

Knox’s Headquarters is located at 289 Forge Hill Road, in Vails Gate, New York, three miles southeast of the intersection of I-87 and I-84. Admission is free, registration is required. To reserve your performance time and for more information, call (845) 561-1765 ext. 22.
