Title: Barberton Ghost Un-Walk

Time: 6:15pm - 7:30pm
Presenter: Sarah Hays
Location: Spillette Meeting Room
Audiences: Adult
Categories: Adult Program, Lecture, Local History and Genealogy
Description:

Join us for a spooky Un-Walking tour of downtown Barberton. This program will feature the same ghost stories about the Barberton Inn, the Lake Theater, and more, as the Barberton Ghost Walks, but without the walking. There will even be an extra story or two since we won’t spend time walking from site-to-site. This program is for folks with mobility issues who are unable to do the walking tours and anyone else who wants to attend.

The UnWalk will be held in the Spillette Meeting Room at 6 pm. A PowerPoint program will be used to recreate the walking tour as much as possible. Photos of the tour "stops" will feature along with the ghost stories.

Registration is NOT required for this program.
