Walk with us as we take a stroll back in time to the Victorian heydays of downtown New Albany, Indiana!
Being a river town in the 1800s and right across from a city already famous for its horse racing and liquor, New Albany grew from its initially small numbers of founding citizens to quickly become the largest and richest city in all the state! The population boomed as others came here to start businesses, others came to get jobs at those industries, and still others came to visit what was becoming a travel destination of its own!
Now for most, whether homegrown New Albanians or new arrivals, their time in this city during that period was a positive experience: a number of people became rich, many more started new lives and families, and others had memorable visits!
However, some of those who lived or relocated or visited in that bustling era did not find any of that.
And instead, by various ways and means, they found tragedy.
And, as so often they do, many of those tragic moments seemed to have left their mark on time...
And during this tour, we will guide you to the places where those tragedies happened.
And tell you the stories of those events...
and the after effects that are still being experienced today!
PLEASE read all of the following BEFORE purchasing tickets
This tour is based on actual documented historical events. During the tour, we will visit the locations and the guide will share information and stories about the site. This is not a "haunted house" type tour (NO jump scares) but hopefully the chilling, graphic, and shocking details from history will do the trick!
We visit the sites where events actually occurred, are said to have occurred, or in some instances, have a direct connection to the event. As of yet we will NOT be entering any premises.
We encourage you to do some spirit/ghost hunting on the tour, so please bring along some tools of the trade: cameras, EMF readers, EVP recorders etc. Most of this can be done from a cell phone! See our website for recommendations!
Meet us at 202 E. Market St. (Farmer's Market) in downtown New Albany at least 10 minutes before start of the event.
Tour times are 8:30 PM until 10:30 PM - Ending time is approximate.
Please bring your personal device (such as cell phone) as there is a supplemental web site to go along with the tour!
