Friday the 13th: Gruesome & Ghostly Tales

Some stories may be better left untold… but we’ll risk telling them. The streets are familiar. The stories are not. And you may never look at Corvallis the same way again.


Corvallis Chronicles

Come discover an hour of key moments in the region’s history, including how Montana affected Willamette Valley agriculture and how medieval forests in Europe influenced the Pacific Northwest.


Our storyteller will explain how immigrants impacted native Kalapuya, the cause of the biggest financial collapse in the town’s history, and leave you with an abundance of memorable tales to share!

$15 early, $19 general, $10 students.

Full Moon Ghost & True Crime

During the spookiest time of the month, true crime meets suspected hauntings on this hour-long walking storytime. Come delve into the eerie world of ghosts, murder, and grisly accidents in downtown Corvallis.

You’ll spend an hour hearing hair-raising stories outside the downtown Corvallis locations where these hauntings, crimes, and accidents have been reported. And you’ll probably soak up a little Corvallis history along the way!

$15 early, $19 general, $11 students
