]]> With over 120 years of history, the Kilby General Store is the last standing building of the once bustling community of Harrison Mills. Thousands of people have walked through her doors. Our investigators have found evidence
that some are still with us!

Investigators will be set up in various ‘known-to-be’ haunted hot-spots in the Store and Hotel. After an explanation of their
equipment, you will get a chance to discover if there is an active spooky side to our site. Your tour will visit four areas in the Museum/Hotel, and one on the grounds. Warm-up refreshments will be provided (hot apple cider and sweet
treats).

$45/person plus GST
Tours from 6pm – 8pm or 8pm – 10pm

Please note that the evening is not recommended for youth under 10 years of age. All minors must be accompanied by an adult. Part of the tour will take place outdoors.
