Oct 2    Ghost Tour
Step into the shadows of Fredericksburg’s past on a 75-minute winter ghost tour led under the eerie glow of the moon. Bundle up as we explore the city’s most haunted streets.

The tour begins at Historic Tales & Tails Bookstore Café, where you can purchase a drink (or pick up a spooky book) before setting out into the night. Along the way, you’ll hear true stories drawn from eyewitness accounts, historic records, and generations of local lore. This isn’t a jump-scare tour—it’s a chance to connect with the lives (and afterlives) of those who shaped this city.

This special winter walk includes a rare stop at the Masonic Cemetery, typically closed to the public, adding an extra layer of mystery to the evening.

We’ll cover about 1 mile at a relaxed pace with frequent stops. Feel free to take photos—past guests have captured strange mists, glowing orbs, and unexplained figures.

Oct 16 - Oct 31    Halls of Hysteria

Enter If You Dare: Halls of Hysteria — Year 2

Halls of Hysteria is back for Year 2 at the Fredericksburg Convention Center — bigger, darker, and packed with even more scares for 2026.

Step inside a massive, fully indoor haunted trail where fear takes a different form around every corner. Halls of Hysteria isn’t built around one theme or one kind of scare — it throws you into a constantly changing nightmare filled with the things that keep you up at night.

One moment you may be walking through a fog-filled graveyard surrounded by the dead, and the next you’re trapped inside a twisted cornfield with scarecrows and creatures lurking between the stalks. Keep going and you could find yourself face-to-face with deranged clowns, possessed dolls, zombies, restless spirits, horror classics, sinister nuns, exorcist-inspired scenes, creatures in the darkness, and plenty more we’re not giving away.

And the scares don’t always stay inside the scenes.

You may be chased. You may be followed. Something may sneak up behind you when you least expect it. Our scare actors are there to keep you on edge from beginning to end — but actors will not touch guests.

With new scares, expanded scenes, and surprises waiting throughout the trail, Year 2 takes the hysteria even further.

Strongly recommended for ages 13+. Some scenes, effects, characters, and scares may be too intense for younger audiences.

Join us for a guided coffee tasting from our local partners at Hyperion Espresso, followed by an exploration of Michelle Craig McDonald's Coffee Nation, which reveals how America's profitable coffee trade contradicted its ideals of independence.

Nov 1    Becoming A Hell of a Regiment: The Twentieth Maine at Fredericksburg in History and Memory

A Talk and Walking Tour with Jared Peatman

Though famous for its actions at Gettysburg, the Twentieth Maine’s first major battle – and the one that set it up to earn glory seven months later – was Fredericksburg.  Fifty years later, differing interpretations of that same battle turned former comrades Joshua Chamberlain and Ellis Spear into enemies, and provided much fodder for today’s anti-Chamberlain crowd.

Join us November 1, 2026, first at the CVBT office as Jared Peatman, author of the recently-released A Hell of a Regiment: To Gettysburg and Beyond with the Twentieth Maine, reveals the dynamics of the Twentieth Maine on the eve of the Battle of Fredericksburg, the impact of the great battle on the unit, and then the controversies that arose with Joshua Chamberlain’s January 1913 account “My Story of Fredericksburg.”  Then, we’ll pick up with the tour portion of the program and follow in the footsteps of the Twentieth Maine from December 13-16, 1862, as they attacked Marye’s Heights on December 13-14 before acting as part of the army’s rearguard on December 15-16.

This award is named for Laurie A. Wideman, an exceptional woman in the community who was truly an enterprising woman. Laurie worked tirelessly behind the scenes for the many difference causes that she believed in, supported others in their endeavors, and had a true passion for her community and its quality of life. She served on the Chamber's Board of Directors, Leadership Advisory Board, and chaired the monthly Stafford Roundtable. Laurie was a winner of the Chamber's Small Business of the Year Award and was involved in numerous Chamber committees including the Chamber's Network of Enterprising Women (CNEW), tourism, and transportation. As active as she was with the Chamber, Laurie also served on the Board of Directors for United Way, was a former president of the Stafford Business Exchange, and represented Stafford County on the Regional Tourism Task Force.

Welcoming Historian and & Author Chris Mackowski “Decisions at Fredericksburg,” an author talk and battlefield tour, on December 12, 2026.
 

What is a “critical decision”? How did critical decisions unfold during the Battle of Fredericksburg, fought in Central Virginia during the winter of 1862? Can we match the historic decision process to the places and topography where they happened?

A newly released book from the University of Tennessee Press, Decisions at Fredericksburg by Historian Chris Mackowski, delves into some answers, and now we’re offering a unique opportunity to study and explore during the 164th anniversary of the Battle of Fredericksburg.
