Salubria After Dark
Friday, October 21 & Saturday, October 22
Come experience Salubria After Dark with stories to fright and delight the young and old alike. Join us for a special evening of storytelling on the grounds of historic Salubria, Culpeper County’s oldest brick house which was built in 1757. While the stories are not about Salubria, you’re in for a spook-tacular event with several professional storytellers!

Guests will be divided into three groups of 20 and will be led to three stops, where everyone will be greeted by a storyteller. The tour will last approximately one hour. Event goes on rain or shine!

Note: This event is recommended for children 13 and up as some of the stories may not be suitable for young children.
