Come join us for a special, spooky tour this Halloween season! We'll tell the stories of haunted houses and ghostly storefronts right here in Independence. You’ll see the very spot where public hangings took place and where some say spirits still roam the streets each night looking for revenge! It all ends with a personal spiritual account from our Wagon Master and the best part is you’ll be safe and sound under our covered wagon the whole night! Located in the Historical District of Independence, Missouri.
