Hear more about Jacksonville’s “restless” former residents when Historic Jacksonville offers two different 1-hour “Haunted History” walking tours on October 12 & 13.  Costumed tour guides share both history and tales of pioneers whose spirits still dwell in many of our historic buildings. These tours are not your typical ‘ghost tours’ with special effects.   They are history tours about real hauntings resulting from past events.  The stories—some scary, some benign—come from multiple sources, from people who have experienced these lingering spirits.  They are our attempt to recognize and honor these restless souls. Tours begin at 6pm, 6:15pm, 6:30pm, 6:45pm and 7pm on both Friday, October 12, and Saturday, October 13.  Friday night tours feature the Britt Hill route; Saturday night tours follow the Courthouse route. Tour group size is limited!  Cost is $5 per person and reservations are strongly suggested.  Contact 541-245-3650 or info@historicjacksonville.org.   “Walk ups” will be accommodated based on space available. Private tours can also be scheduled for a minimum of 10 people at a cost of $10 per person.  Date and time must be mutually agreed upon.
