One of the best attractions in the area. The "ghost walk" in October is one light no other. A lot of people to find this another "haunted house with blood and guts," buts its historical and definitely haunted. It is worth the money just to see it in the day time. If you are in the area, it should be on your must see list, because without Cassious Clay, there would be no Alaska and chances or no union as well.
