I was ticketed two times in 5 minutes and ended up having to go to court after depositing over $180 in extortion fees from the Newark police who refused to make this right when I provided evidence that you could not see any signage nor kiosks when parking in front of the museum. The exhibits are tired and run down and missing many items. That said, the grandkid had a good time. Shame on the chief of New Hope Police or mishandling Justice and telling me I could go to trial. The judge dropped the charges immediately and chastised the New Hope Police department.

Founded in 1981 by author and paranormal investigator Adi-Kent Thomas Jeffrey, Ghost Tours of New…read moreHope offers one-hour walking tours that offer a brief and engaging glimpse into the sometimes-sordid history of New Hope, Pennsylvania at a very reasonable price point. Unlike some other local (and much more expensive) 'ghost tours' that feature costumed actors who jump out of the bushes to scare participants or focus solely on the macabre, Ghost Tours of New Hope offers a more historically-based tour that emphasizes stories of eerie paranormal happenings in this small town on the Delaware River. New Hope is a quaint, historic town on the Delaware River, located approximately halfway between Philadelphia and New York City, featuring art galleries, a range of casual and upscale dining choices, eclectic shopping boutiques, and the Bucks County Playhouse that attracts talent from Broadway and Hollywood. The charming hamlet is often called one of America's most haunted towns with a history dating back to the American Revolution when Aaron Burr allegedly fled to New Hope after dueling with Alexander Hamilton (and some say never left..). Ghost Tours of New Hope offers one-hour walking tours every Saturday night at 8pm from June through November and Friday nights starting in mid-September through Halloween. Tickets are $12 (as of October 2025) and may be purchased in-person from the tour operators with cash or Venmo approximately 30-60 minutes before the start of the tour. There is one route that runs along Ferry Street and one route that runs along Mechanic Street and the Delaware Canal Towpath. Both walking tours begin adjacent to the Parry Mansion Museum and the historic cannon on the corner of Ferry Street and Main Street. Wear comfortable shoes, dress appropriately for the weather, and consider bringing a flashlight as the sidewalks and streets of New Hope can be very uneven. Gratuities are optional and our guide didn't push for them. We'll definitely be back soon for the other route!

New Hope has some of the most haunted sightings and buildings in a 2 square block and in the country. ( The tours are every Saturday night from the first Saturday in June up to and including the Saturday before Thanksgiving. In the month of "October only" you can also find tours on a Friday night besides the usual Saturday night. The tours start at 8p and meet on the corner of Main and Ferry Street next to the Parry Mansion Museum. You don't need a reservation. I just walked up and there were two ladies taking money and giving out a paid sticker. Then you just line up with the rest of the tour people. PLEASE BRING CASH! They will also do private tours with advanced notice. My group had over 30 people in it. I suggest getting there at least 30-40 minutes before. The cost is $12. The tour itself is about an hour. Make sure you wear a sturdy pair of shoes. You will be walking down stairs and on dirt paths, and near a canal. These tours have been going on for over 42 years. New Hope has such a fun vibe. Everyone was excited for this tour. Parking in New Hope is a bit tricky. If you can't find street parking, I suggest parking a few blocks away in one of several lots. You will do a lot of walking in New Hope. The Staff was all very friendly, knowledgeable and informative. I would definitely recommend this tour.
