Whispers of the Cape Fear – Storytelling and Lantern Tour 2026

Harmony Hall Village and the Friends of the Bladen County Public Library, invite you to a family-friendly storytelling event at the Harmony Hall Plantation Village on Saturday, October 17th. This ticketed event blends North Carolina folklore with the rich history of the Cape Fear River region in an entertaining, lantern-lit experience.

Each ticketed group will be led by lantern-carrying guides on a 90 minute, 1/2 mile walking tour. Seven eerie and mysterious tales will be recreated by characters immersed in local history.

For safety, each timed group is limited to 15 ticket holders for the dimly illuminated walking tour. Please note that as the tour consists of walking in limited light across natural unpaved terrain throughout the property, a liability waiver must be signed upon check-in.  Comfortable closed-toe shoes are recommended.

This event is rain or shine.  If raining, please wear appropriate rain gear and/or bring umbrellas.

Kids under 15 must be under supervision of an adult.

We look forward to sharing this experience with you along the Cape Fear River!

Sweet treats and souvenirs will be available for purchase on site.
