William H. Ferguson House
Ghost Tours
Step into the past… and perhaps encounter something that never left.
Sign up for the tour and explore the two-and-a-half-story house which was once the residence of William and Myrtle Ferguson. Learn about the Ferguson family and the history of the property, and hear stories of the paranormal activity and unexplained encounters reported within its walls. Try your hand at amateur ghost-hunting equipment as the tour investigates the house and see what you might discover!
Tours run from 5:30-7 PM and 7:30-9PM. (Please plan on showing up at least 15 minutes before tours.)
Spots are limited! Buy tickets here.
*Note: Due to historic architecture, the spaces are not accessible to wheelchairs. The tour includes stairs and walking on uneven terrain.*
