Don't Miss The Ghosts of Washington County!
Space is still available to tour the Old Sheriff's Residence, learn some
unusual history, and get a good scare at the Washington County Historical
Society's Ghosts of Washington County. This year's fundraiser takes place
Friday, October 23 and Saturday October 24 at the Old Courthouse Museum
complex located at 320 S. 5th Avenue West Bend.
Friday October 23 features haunted jail tours from 4:00p.m. to 10:00p.m.
This year's tour is brand new, and it is recommended to call for a
reservation. Saturday, October 24 includes jail tours for the little ghosts
and goblins from noon until 4:00p.m. These tours are geared for children
under 10 and include a treat bag.
Haunted jail tours continue Saturday evening along with a special Edgar
Allen Poe presentation, "The Cask Of Amantillado." This year also features
spine tingling stories written by local author David J. Rank. Mr. Rank is a
published author of short stories and has generously agreed to have some of
his stories read as part of this special fundraising event.
All proceeds from "Ghosts of Washington County" benefit the educational
programs, events, and activities offered to the community by the Washington
County Historical Society. For reservations and information, please call
the Society at 262-335-4678.
