Once again Historic Downtown Newburgh will get a bit spooky with the annual  Historic Newburgh Ghost Walks.

The Ghost Walks, sponsored by Historic Newburgh Inc., are entering their eighteenth year, and will run Friday, October 21nd, 6:30pm-9pm; Saturday, October 22rd, 5pm-9pm; and Sunday, October 23th, 5pm-8:30pm.

Participants on the Ghost Walks can choose between two different haunted tours.

On the Water Street tour, attendees will learn of mining and river lore, mayhem, mystery, and the Underground Railroad! The State Street tour focuses on Newburgh history, Civil War tales, thrills, and bedlam! Both tours offer their share of historical murder, mayhem, and mysteries. 

The guided walking tours depart every 15 minutes from Preservation Hall (200 State Street) and each tour lasts about an hour. Comfortable shoes are recommended for those participating.

Advance tickets are on sale now. Advance tickets are $7/adults and $4/children ages 4-12. After October 20th tickets will be $9/adults and $5/children ages 4-12.

In addition to the walking tours we will once again offer the haunted Historic Newburgh trolley tour. This is designed for those who cannot walk the haunted route; Historic Newburgh, Inc. is offering two trolley tours on Sunday, October 24th, one at 1:00pm and one at 2:00pm. Tour sizes are limited to 17 people and it is first come, first serve. Tickets for the trolley tour are $5/person and must be purchased in advance. Haunted trolley tours will leave from the Newburgh Town Hall parking lot.

Tickets can be purchased by calling Historic Newburgh, Inc. at (812) 853-2815. There is limited space so get your tickets now!

Art Show for Greenwich Workshop artist Morgan Weistling at Riverwind Gallery October 1- November 21, 2011

California artist, Morgan Weistling will be represented at Riverwind Gallery with a collection of limited edition giclee' art on canvas.

With his masterful use of oils, Morgan Weistling brings a scene to life with spectacular lighting, creating a sense of wonder and engaging the viewer's imagination and emotion.  His dreamlike images touch the viewer's heart, using more than sentimentality to engage the viewer.  His canvases are filled with brushwork that tells a story beyond the subject matter.  In all of his vibrant work, from western art to feminine forms, Weistling crafts a narrative, driven by clarity, focus and purpose, drawing on images inspired by his beliefs and scenes from daily life.

Weistling is a highly sought after teacher who conducts private workshops with juried students and teach at the prestigious Scottsdale Artist School.
