Before Springfield became a place of pilgrimage for admirers of Abraham Lincoln, it became a city in mourning. The Mourning After explores the darker emotional history of Springfield through stories of grief, loss, obsession, and the lingering impact of death on those left behind. In the years following Lincoln's assassination, the city became deeply intertwined with remembrance, mourning rituals, and reports of unexplained encounters connected to those who struggled to let go.
This adults-only ghost tour delves into the haunted side of Springfield's history, where tragedy often left deeper scars than death itself. Along the way, you'll hear stories of heartbreak, spiritualism, restless spirits, and the people who carried their grief long after the funeral ended. Because sometimes the most powerful hauntings are not created by death—they are created by those who remain behind, unable to forget.
Recommended for mature audiences, The Mourning After runs nightly at 8 pm and lasts about 90 minutes. This tour is for ages 16 and older only, and includes mature themes, uncensored language, and graphic historical content. If you're ready to explore the grief-soaked side of Lincoln's city, book your spot tonight.
