Ghosts of Christmas Past
A Haunted Dining Experience
Event Info
December 19, 2026
5:00 PM - 7:00 PM
Dawn Manor's Haunted Dining Experience returns with a fresh serving of yuletide scares.
Step beyond the ordinary and into a festive evening where the past speaks to us from beyond the grave. Join us at Dawn Manor for a twilight dinner where candlelit elegance meets the eerie mysteries of Wisconsin’s past.
Upon arrival, guests will be welcomed with a glass of champagne before settling in for a sumptuous five-course dinner prepared for this most unusually merry of occasions.
As the evening unfolds, so too will tales of Wisconsin’s haunted history—of restless spirits, unexplained happenings, and stories that have lingered long after their telling. But beware: the most chilling tales may not come from faraway places. The very room in which you dine has stories of its own.
This exclusive evening is reserved for those with a taste for fine dining, Wisconsin history, and perhaps a little company from the other side. Come dressed for an evening of elegance and macabre merriment. Stay, if you dare, for the stories.
The lamps will be lit. A feast will be served. And the spirits are already waiting.
