The Walking Tour!
Every circle has a center; if one were to scribe a circle encompassing all the sites of legend in the Archer Avenue region, the center–or rather –the epicenter, is the core of the walking tour.
Sojourn with Folklorist Robert Miller as he takes you through the core of Haunted Archer Avenue! These tours depart and return to the Ashbary Coffee house, along a dark, foreboding and bone-chilling route through the heart of Archer’s most Haunted legends! Resurrection Mary is just the tip of the ice berg on the Haunted Archer Avenue walking tour!
This tour is just over two hours and covers just over a mile of travel.
- Ashbary Coffee House
- The Willowbrook Ballroom
- The possession by Isabelle
