Celebrate Halloween in Connecticut’s oldest prison!

Get your costume ready and join us for a weekend of Halloween Fun! Candy, pumpkins, and the spooky side of Colonial and Revolutionary history await you as you explore this 18th-century prison.

This October you are invited to experience the dark side of history at Old New-Gate Prison & Copper Mine. The museum will be alive with spirits of the past. Watch out for our prisoners including the famous murderess Thirza Mansfield, and others escaping their graves for one night!

Old New-Gate is devilishly delighted to partner with Cambridge House Brew Pub to offer guests (21+) a tasting of their exclusive New-Gate beer! Also look forward to live music and historically haunted tours of the copper mine. Mine access will be limited to the time slot that you sign up for.
