Legends of Terror Haunted House
These are our newest events, debuting in 2009. Legends of Terror is a haunted ghost tour of the museum buildings. Not intended for young children, Legends of Terror was developed in Partnership with Fire Hall Theater for a more mature audience. In 2009, guests followed the haunting story of Geneva Campbell, who died mysteriously and whose grave was left unmarked by her family in Memorial Park cemetery. Other ghosts appear suddenly along the way refusing to let anyone escape without a terrifying fright. Admission is $5. Legends of Terror runs from 8pm to midnight Friday and Saturday.
