The Ghosts of Burton Historical Tour - 2009 will take place on Saturday, October 17th and Saturday, October 24th.   Tour times are 5:00 pm, 6:00 pm 7:00 pm, and 8:00 pm.   Approximately 25 volunteer guides are stationed throughout the Village and at two local graveyards, helping to tell the stories of past lives.   This year, we will focus on Underground Railroad activity through Northeast Ohio, and especially through Geauga County.   Each tour lasts about 2 1/2 hours.

The tour includes historically accurate stories of the local area, some good "ghost stories", and includes shuttle bus rides to two different local graveyards 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 are necessaray.   The Ghosts of Burton Historical Tour generally sells out, so book early.   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.   This is NOT a "haunted house" tour, and we do not create artificial cheap tricks for amusement.
