Did you know the Museum continues to have 1.5-2 hr. ghost tours on weekends? All you have to do is call 812.752.1050 and make your paid reservation one week in advance. Volunteers, Lynn and Tracee Lamb or Stephanie and Tracy Kirby will be your tour guides and tell you all about Mary, Jesse B. Davis, Annie and others that are full-time at the Museum, because this was their home at the end of their lives.

Just $10.00 per person and call Jeannie (812.752.1050) and we will get a tour set up for Friday or Saturday of your choice (if it works in the volunteers schedules). Doors open by 7:30 p.m. and tour begins at 8 p.m.

Of course, the 6 hour paranormal tours are continuing for the 2nd weekend of each month until the end of 2026. They are $20 per person and from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. Doors open by 8 p.m. Access the Paranormal will bring their equipment for you to use during these tours and you can try talking to the ghost during the tour. Limit of 10 people for these tours due to space in the rooms of the museum. Paid reservations MUST be made one week prior to the event.
