🩸 SOME THREADS ARE NEVER BROKEN.

Almonte remembers.

The fires that consumed its buildings. The mills that shaped its people. The footsteps of generations who walked these paths before us.

And beneath it all, a thread that refuses to break.

This October, follow the thread into the shadows of Almonte's past.

But tread carefully.

And beware the Lady in Red.

Beginning at the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum, our Ghost Walk winds along historic pathways, through the trees and beside the river, where history, folklore and something altogether more mysterious begin to intertwine.

You may hear voices from another century. You may encounter those who never quite left. And you may discover that some stories are not finished being told.

🔥 Inspired by Almonte's history, woven with ghostly encounters, music, folklore and a little Halloween magic.

The past is calling. Will you follow the thread?
