True tales of murder, mischief and misadventure, pulled from our archives.
From the horrors of the Chester County Prison, to the cold-blooded killers tried at the courthouse, to explosions and other disasters that have wrought havoc in the borough, West Chester's streets and alleys have witnessed two hundred years of spine-chilling history. The historians and educators at the Chester County History Center will share these stories--and more--with visitors on this 90 minute walking tour. These are not ghost stories; these are true tales of terror pulled from our own archives.
Tour is entirely outdoors; sidewalks and terrain may be uneven. Event is rain or shine, so please dress for the weather. Service dogs are welcome; pets are not permitted on our public walking tours.
Tickets are $18.00 per person; members of CCHC receive a 20% discount with code. Not a member? You can purchase a membership on our website by following THIS LINK.
