"I absolutely LOVED IT!!! Please do this again next year!!"
Spirits of the Silent City: Dead Reckoning
This October, embark on an exclusive, after-hours journey through beautiful and historic Forest Home Cemetery and Arboretum with our immersive event, "Spirits of the Silent City: Dead Reckoning." As darkness falls, experience the stories of Milwaukee's past through the eyes of those who now walk these paths.

“Dead Reckoning"?

The phrase not only evokes imagery of navigation and exploration but also serves as a poignant metaphor for the reflective journeys of the historical figures featured in our tour. Each forever-resident of Forest Home has a story that is as unique and compelling as the lives they led, shared with you in the somewhat spooky atmosphere of nighttime in Milwaukee’s most illustrious cemetery.
  • Trailblazers: Meet individuals who navigated by their own star and carved out paths that changed the course of history.
  • Unapologetic Reflections: Discover the reflections of these figures, freed from the constraints of their era, sharing insights and truths without reservation.
  • Accountability and Legacy: Hear tales of accountability, where these illustrious historical characters hold themselves and others to account—whether right or wrong.

Guided by the spirits of the past along a new route, you'll meet new characters and revisit beloved figures with fresh stories to tell, all set against the backdrop of Milwaukee’s rich history. The moonlit pathways and whispers of the past create a uniquely eerie atmosphere, making this an unforgettable adventure.

Don’t miss this haunting journey where history comes alive under the stars. Space is limited for this highly popular event so purchase your tickets now and be part of an extraordinary exploration of Milwaukee’s rich past.
