the year, spring, summer fall and in February, in honor of
Lincoln's birthday. The current schedule can be found above. Private Tours: Private Haunted President Tours for groups of 13 people or less can be booked at a minimum of 2 weeks in advance, based on availability. Rental of the bus, guide and tour is a flat fee of $400. |
Do We Give Out a List of the Places that we Go on the Tour? No, unfortunately, we don't do that because we always like our guests to be surprised, plus we often change the tour, so it can occasionally vary from night to night. We do promise to bring you the most authentic and historically accurate tour possible because in our opinion, a good ghost story cannot exist without the real history behind it! |  |
|
Do I need a Credit Card to Make
Reservations? Yes, all of the tour tickets are sold on a first come / first served basis, which means that the tickets have to be purchased in advance, just like tickets for a concert or event. Once you buy them, they are yours but can be sold to someone else as long as they check in at the time of the tour with your name. |
Will I be sent tickets in the Mail? No, when you register online, you will be emailed a confirmation form, which you can print out and bring to the tour with you. If registering by telephone, you will only need your name to check in. Confirmation numbers can be provided upon request. |
