The Agatha Smith Cemetery outdoor Halloween display at night

The Display

An outdoor walk-through haunt — thirty years in the making

Each Halloween, the grounds of the Agatha Smith Cemetery come alive with an elaborate outdoor walk-through display — a labor of love three decades in the making. What began in 1996 as a modest graveyard scene has grown into a sprawling atmospheric haunt that draws visitors from across the region.

The display is free to all who dare wander through. Trick-or-treaters, families, and those who simply wish to pay their respects to Agatha are all welcome.

What to Expect

Outdoor Walk-Through

A fully outdoor experience winding through elaborately decorated grounds. Dress for the weather — October nights in Olympia carry a chill.

Atmospheric Scenes

Detailed Victorian-era scenes, period props, and carefully crafted vignettes that bring the story of Agatha Smith to life.

All Ages Welcome

The display is designed to be atmospheric and immersive rather than jump-scare intense. Families with children are welcome.

Free Admission

The display is free and open to all. Trick-or-treating is available for children in costume.
