Located at the Versailles City Park, Route 52 West is the Unity Circle of Lights. The lights demonstrate cooperation between various entities in the community. There is no cost to drive through the park.

It's thrilling...it's chilling...it's Halloween at Missouri Town 1855. Only luminaries light the way in this eerie 1850s village. Walk through the moonlit town, if you dare, and hear spine-tingling tales more than a century old. Wood fires burn and witches’ cauldrons churn. Children's games; storytelling around bonfires; trick-or-treating; and haunted hayrides are just a part of the spooktastic time awaiting you.

This is a revolutionary concept in Halloween entertainment. Rather than a simple Haunted House, guests are treated to the ultimate in thrills and chills as they make their way through three completely different haunted attractions in a natural forest setting. In addition to the three attractions, we offer a huge entertainment concourse - The Concourse of Carnage - set up like a macabre fair that has freaky sideshows, fortune tellers, fire performers, food and beverage, and merchandise vendors. This year’s attractions will include Purgatory; at a half a mile in length, it is one of the country’s longest haunted attractions. Experience a thrilling hayride into a very creepy 1860s ghost town and The Legends of Dead Man’s Hollow. Come face to face with the horrors of the undead at Cemetery Hill. In addition, we are hosting a number of sideshows such as a Coffin Burial Ride, Fire Performers and Fortune Tellers. Located 15 minutes east of North Kansas City.
