Sponsored by Bowen Spirit Hill Farms
This year we are revitalizing a past Pilgrimage event that was both enjoyable and educational.
​
Join us on Friday, June 6 at Montrose for "A Walk Through Time," an evening dedicated to the stories of Holly Springs's bygone characters in a pageant of history, while enjoying cocktails and hors d'oeuvres with the community's current residents.
The event will take place from 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM
Refreshments and food included with ticket.
Hill Crest Cemetary Ghost Tour
Saturday, June 7 @ 8:00PM
The very popular Haunted Holly Springs Walking Tour is back! Guests can stroll along historic Hill Crest Cemetery with Haunted Holly Springs Guide and local historian Phillip Knecht while sipping a specialty spooky cocktail and hearing tales of the terrifying yet true history of Holly Springs’s former citizens.
The Saturday night “ghost” tour hopes to capture the popularity of Knecht’s fall “Haunted Holly Springs” tours that bring visitors from all over.
“These tours have gained popularity over the past few years, selling out every season,” says Knecht, who established the walking tours several years ago and has added more each year. “Our tours strive to be fun and spooky but still respectful to the families and citizens who have gone before us, so they will really be of interest to Pilgrims of all ages who love history.”
Guests will gather at Hill Crest’s entrance at 8pm, Friday, April 4, to sign in and get their “spooky” evening cocktail (or mocktail, if preferred) and then meander through the historic cemetery hearing tales of its residents, some who found themselves victims of murder, mystery, and mayhem.
