These guided walking tours thread through the vibrant Historic District, stopping at local watering holes reputed to harbor restless spirits and unexplained phenomena.

Cobblestone Tours delivers a unique combination of history and eerie folklore, engaging both skeptics and believers with stories that unfold beneath gas-lit street lamps and inside taverns that have stood for centuries. Highlights include stops at atmospheric pubs like Moon River Brewing Company, where visitors may hear tales of ghostly apparitions and witness moments that blur the line between past and present.
