The ever-popular tours which marry Columbus architecture and authentic Columbus ghost stories in a downtown bus tour with three stops each night. Each tour may vary slightly from night to night. Haunted spaces that now house museums, antique malls, restaurants, or hotels in the downtown area will be featured - with many other stories in between stops.

7-9:30 p.m.

An Evening with Sophia & Fernando, sort of get tickets
When the shadows grow long and the street lights filter through the trees on an October evening, the architecture of a neighborhood takes on a new dimension - one ripe for storytelling. Take a lantern tour with us of a familiar and beautiful neighborhood, culminating in an evening devoted to the authentic stories of one particular house, The Kelton House, for seasonal snacks and spirits - possibly of both meanings of the word. Columbus Landmarks members and/or Friends of Kelton House will receive a "treat" - a $10 coupon toward the renewal of their own Landmarks membership or for a gift membership. "Tricks" may come courtesy of Sophia or Fernando.
Oct. 30
6:30-9:15 p.m.
Tickets: $25, adults only
Tour begins at Kelton House, 586 E. Town St. On street parking available or park in Junior League lot on Franklin Ave.
