Spend an hour or spend the day. During the day, walk our historic trails, see our museum, historic oil paintings, gift shop, and ten minute video in our VisitorCenter. See reenactors display their skills around the historic cabin from 1-4pm and kids can learn to dip candles. Then stay for the Candlelight Tour at night.
Guided tours proceed along the one-mile historic trail, which is illuminated by the soft glow of candlelight and torchlight. Along the way, costumed volunteers portray Colonial citizens and soldiers who tell stories of peace and war at old Ninety Six in the 1700’s. The haunting sounds of musket fire and fife & drums in the darkness will help you relive an exciting period of this frontier outpost.
