Ghost Tours

Ghost Tours @ the Museum   

Reservations must be made in advance.

Did you know that our Ghost Tours are available any month in the year on Saturday nights?  Our most popular month is of course in October, however, the ghosts roam the building all year long! Costs for the tour is $10.00 per person for a 1 1/2 hour tour.   Tours are available from 6 p.m. to Midnight, for $20.00 per person with a minimum of 10 persons attending. Appointments must be made in advance.

Volunteers Lynn and Tracee Lamb are the tour guides. Appointments must be made in advance. Call 812.752.1050 or email: contact@schcam.org for more information about scheduling.

Will you see or hear a ghost?  Depends!  We can’t guarantee that you will as these tours are not faked.  Most people come away with hearing or seeing something.  Bring your camera as you may see something later on your photo.  There is a cat that may rub up against your leg, while you are here.

NOTICE: Ghosts in Scott County? Nah! But… by Jeannie Noe Carlisle is back in print and updated.  A copy may be purchased by stopping by the Museum.  The cost is $5.35 per copy. Add $3.00 for shipping fees.
