The Ghosts of Burton Historical Tour
The Ghosts of Burton Historical Tour will take place on Saturday, October 17th and Saturday, October 24th, 2009.
Tour times are 5:00 pm, 6:00 pm 7:00 pm, and 8:00 pm. Each tour lasts about 2 1/2 hours.
Several volunteers will be stationed throughout Burton Village and at two different cemeteries to tell local stories of old.
The tour includes historically accurate stories of the local area, some good "ghost stories", and includes a shuttle bus ride
to two local cemeteries for further discussion on the former inhabitants of the area and a look at some very old grave markers.
A light snack and beverage is included. We will walk at an easy pace, covering about a mile.
Some stops have stairs, so the tour is not entirely handicapped accessible.
Pre-registration and pre-payment is required. In past years, the Ghosts of Burton Historical Tour has sold out in advance of the dates.
You may mail in a check or call with your credit card number. A confirmation will be sent to you.
The cost is $18 per person for adults, $11 for ages 8 to 14, and $7 for under age 8. This tour is intended to be "family friendly", but very small children may find it boring. (We are sure that older teens and adults will find it quite interesting!) This is NOT a "haunted house" tour, and we do not create artificial cheap tricks for amusement.
