Sorry everyone, but with our renovations underway in our Administration Building and other areas, we are simply too busy to set up our Haunted House this year. Haunted Tours will be taking a break, and instead replaced with some Lantern History Tours.

These tours will be full of history, and may still scare those feint of heart! Take these rare opportunities to be guided through our halls and basements in the dark, lit only by the flickering candle in your hand.

These will book fast, and are the most requested event we book. Do not hesitate, lock in your dates ASAP.

~*~Workday Wednesday~*~

Not every project is a restoration, some times we get to revive an existing space! Although we loved the dining room in our Priest House, it was not the original (added in 1994) and we moved it to the Common Room to accommodate a new guest room! (The original dining room is under renovation and will be revealed at a later date!!!)

Introducing the St. Barbara room. Located on the first floor of our lodging, this room will eventually be wheelchair friendly. For now, it is a welcomed expansion to our almost-always sold out Priest House. This room is the first in a series of updates coming to this house.

We have a challenge for you.

Hidden relics have been scattered across the historic grounds of Arcadia Academy, and it's up to your team to track them down.

Armed with a map, you'll explore the campus, solve clues, and uncover secrets as you race to find every hidden relic. Some clues are easy. Others... not so much.

Whether you're bringing family, friends, coworkers, or your most competitive teammate, this is a fun way to spend an afternoon together while exploring one of the area's most unique historic properties.

✔ Teams of 2–6 (individual ticket holders will form new groups)
✔ 60–90 minute adventure
✔ Prizes for the top teams
✔ Fun for all ages

Do you think your team has what it takes? Or come solo and lead new friends to victory!

Workday Wednesday

It's been a while since we've updated everyone with our numerous projects, and rest assured, that doesn't mean they aren't happening! We're just simply too busy to post them all. :)

We have broke ground on drastic renovation in our Admin Building, the north building which houses our Bride and Grooms quarters, and is the headquarters of our Weddings. We tore out the ugly drop ceiling, updated the electrical, and therefore new lantern lights! Room signs have also been hung, and all complimented with a new ceiling. These are only the first steps in many, including new chandeliers, new rooms, new lodging, and much more!

The floor is coming next! We have a lot of repairs to do first to the floors, so if you catch us watching videos on YouTube on how to do it, please forgive us. :)

Email or Message us to book a tour to see these changes yourself!
