Thomas P. Kennard House
Open House, Hours: 5 PM – 8 PM
Explore the house and discover ghostly activities throughout:
• Delve into the history of Victorian Era spiritualists and seances with our museum Education team.
• Stop by the State Historic Preservation booth to find out: is my house haunted, or just old?
• Sit down for a tarot reading, and learn the history of divining fortunes with cards.
• Check out objects from our collections with links to the paranormal past.

William H. Ferguson Home
Ghost Tours, From 5:30-7 PM and 7:30-9PM
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!
