Assemble your brave companions and partake in a spooktacular haunted history stroll through Uptown Centerville!
The Ghost Walk on Main (Thursday, October 9) is back at Benham’s Grove where you’ll enjoy a hearty box lunch and drinks before embarking on a unique journey that aims to educate guests with vivid storytelling and reenactments from our town’s extensive history (with some ghostly tales to boot). This year has all new dramas (save our favorite baseball player). Tickets are $35 per person with a cap of 175 tickets. Registered attendees will be provided with further details.
For those who want to unwind after the Ghost Walk, Meridien will be serving a seasonal signature beverage along with a dessert bite for $25 to the first 75 people who purchase that ticket in addition to the Ghost Walk on Main ticket. A portion of these ticket sales will benefit both the Friends of WCPL and Centerville-Washington History.
This event is brought to you by the Friends of WCPL in collaboration with Centerville-Washington History, Washington Township and Town Hall Theatre, City of Centerville, Centerville-Washington Park District, and Washington-Centerville Public Library, exclusively for adults aged 21 and over.
We would like to thank our Presenting Sponsor, the Heart of Centerville and Washington Township, which has been a sponsor of the Ghost Walk on Main since its 2017 founding.

The City of Centerville was founded in 1796 and is now home to nearly 24,000 residents. Uptown Centerville located near Main Street (State Route 48) and Franklin Street (State Route 725) reflects the "Main Street" downtown era that shaped American towns and cities in the early 1900s.
Washington Township is the fourth largest Township in Ohio and home to over 61,000 residents. The historic Town Hall located on Main Street was originally the official building for township trustee meetings.
