Illuminating the Dark Tours at Pabst Mansion
Guided by candlelight through a dimly lit mansion, visitors explore the historic home through the unique lens of darkness and light. The experience reveals hidden compartments, seldom-seen lower-level spaces, historic sources of illumination, and reflections on the darkness of loss. Rather than a haunted house or paranormal tour, it focuses atmospherically on the mansion's architecture and history.
