Tours & Coming Events

Candlelight Tours & Ghost Stories is a slightly spooky, self-guided tour of the museum. Each stop in this family-friendly, haunted tour will feature a visit from one of Ferndale's historic spirits. Tours for 2026 will be held Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays the last three weekends in October (Oct. 11 sneak preview, 16, 17, 18, 23, 24, 25, 30, and 31). Our doors will open at 6 p.m. and each tour lasts about 30 minutes long. This event is a fundraiser for the Ferndale Museum. Tickets, available at the door, $20 for adults, $15 for kids ages 5 to 12, and kids under 5 are free.

During 2026, we're holding guided walking tours which take in the architectural gems of Ferndale's Main Street, and the history behind their facades. Tickets are $25 each and are available at

Tours depart the museum at 4 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, and last approximately one hour. Please arrive at the museum a few minutes early, and remember to wear comfortable walking shoes. This is a fundraiser for the Ferndale Museum.

Can’t make a scheduled tour date? Give our tour guides a call (707-496-3318) and see if there’s someone available.

We also offer Taste & Stroll tours during October. These are just like the regular tours, but with the addition of stops at selected local eateries for handpicked drinks and appetizers: perfect for lovers of architecture, history, and elevated tastings. Taste & Stroll tours start from the museum and last from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays in October (Oct. 24 and 31). This tour is 21 and over only. Tickets, $60, are available at the above link.

Our Night at the Museum events are a fun reason for people to come to the museum, visit with their friends and neighbors, and see the local history we have on display at the Mu. Each event is themed, and the title of each individual event usually explains the theme—for example when we held “A Night at the Museum with Music” we invited local musicians to come and play live music. A door prize is given away at each event to one lucky visitor. All Night at the Museum events are open to the public, and there is a suggested $10 donation at the door. If you, or your organization, are interested in sponsoring one of these events, we’d love to hear from you.
