What!

You haven't heard? Tickets for the 18th Annual Haunted House Walking and Trolley Tours are on sale....

now

Call 433.1559 for your tickets

You don't want to miss your chance

The ghosts are ready to show you around downtown Pensacola on our annual ghost tours. The Society has been doing ghost tours for 18 years as a fundraiser to help us keep our mission of preserving and promoting history.

What, you may ask, do ghost tours have to do with history? The stories on our ghost tours tell the history of Pensacola from a slightly different perspective. Are they fact? Each story has been researched and offers an explanation for the possible "family ghost". Are they fun? Of course.

Does Clara Barkley Dorr haunt the Dorr House? Come hear her story and see what you think, and learn a little of Pensacola history while you are at it.
