and join your Alumni Association for a happy hour and ghost walk at the Historic Farnsworth House Inn (featured on A&E, Discovery, History, Sci-Fi & Travel channels)! For Ship alumni & their families - all ages welcome!
Light food and drinks are available for purchase at the Beer Garden (cash only) while listening to a presentation from Dr. Matthew Ramsey, Human Communication Studies Department, on the effects of suggestion on paranormal beliefs. At 7 PM, depart for a 90 minute ghost tour of the garret (attic) of the Farnsworth House, used by Confederates as a sharpshooter’s nest, the witness tree, the Jennie Wade house, and “The Grove”, the site of a massive Confederate offensive on the evening of July 2nd, 1863. Don’t delay, tickets will sell out quickly for this Halloween treat of history and haunts!
