Step back in time and uncover the hidden tales of our most notable residents with the Martinsville-Henry County Historical Society’s Ghost Walk! This free, family-friendly, and informative (but not scary) stroll is scheduled for Saturday, October 19, 2024, from 6:00 P. M. – 8:00 P.M., with tours conducted every thirty minutes.
This free event promises an evening of storytelling and history unlike any other offered in the fall season. Securing tickets in advance is recommended as tours will be limited in the number of participants for this historically-focused, one-night-only event!
Tours will leave the Historic Henry County Courthouse at 1 East Main Street in Uptown Martinsville every 30 minutes. There will be an ASL (American Sign Language) interpreter on the tours to ensure accessibility for attendees. Embark on a journey through historic West Main Street, North Moss Street, West Church Street, and North Bridge Street where guided groups will encounter “ghosts” who will share the rich history of the community. To tours will begin and conclude at the Historic Henry County Courthouse, guided by knowledgeable society members.
Good walking shoes and a flashlight are highly recommended for this saunter around the city block. In the case of rain, the event will be held inside the old courthouse.
