This specialty after-hours tour, offered only in October, takes place in a dimly lit Mansion where themes of darkness and the revealing of unseen spaces are explored, offering visitors an opportunity to experience the Pabst Mansion in a “new light.” Visitors will be guided by candlelight as they explore the dark—from the literal sources of light throughout the home, to reflections on the darkness of loss, to hidden compartments and seldom-seen lower-level spaces.

While atmospheric and evocative, this is not a haunted house or a tour focused on ghosts, spirits, or paranormal activity. Instead, the experience invites visitors to explore the Mansion’s architecture, history, and hidden spaces through the unique lens of darkness and light.
