Walk Among the Spirits

  • Cazenovia Public Library 100 Albany Street Cazenovia, NY, 13035 United States (map)

Online Ticket Sales for Friday Night are Now Closed.

We have a limited number of tickets available on a first-come, first-served basis for the 7:45 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. time slots. We look forward to seeing you!

The Cazenovia Preservation Foundation (CPF) is delighted to present the 11th Annual Walk Among the Spirits (WATS)! (Scroll down to purchase tickets.)

For the past decade, WATS has brought local history to life among the headstones of Evergreen Cemetery. This year, the tradition takes a new turn—into the heart of the Village of Cazenovia itself.

Step back in time to the night of a devastating fire that forever changed the look of the village’s south side. On this guided walking tour, you’ll encounter heroes who rose to the occasion, and everyday townspeople whose lives were reshaped by a single stray spark.

Get ready for an unforgettable evening of history, storytelling, and discovery—right on the very streets where it all happened.
