NARROWSBURG, NY — Cushetunk resident Joseph Skinner is believed to be the first European murdered in the Upper Delaware River Valley, and that 18th century crime has never been solved. 

The unanswered question of who killed Joseph Skinner and other colonial era ghost stories will be the focal point of an evening of family-oriented fun at the Fort Delaware Museum of Colonial History on Saturday, October 14 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

The tour will feature guided tours of the fort by lantern light, with various period-attired interpreters relating ghost stories with a local flavor. 

There will also be musical entertainment provided by special guests The River Ramblers.

Admission costs $10 per person and $25 per family of up to four children and adults. 

Refreshments will also be available for purchase. Those attending might wish to bring their own flashlights, although there will be Fort Delaware flashlights available to purchase; all proceeds go toward 2024 programming at the fort.
