Historic Flashlight Tour
Saturday, May 9, 2026
​
$30.00/person
Ages 13+
7:00PM to 11:00PM
​Limited prepaid tickets

Join us as we turn the lights out, switch the flashlights on… and step back into the 19th century!

Learn about the life and times of one of Muskingum County’s most influential founding families, from the early years and new business prospects at Adams Mill, through the years of Civil War and the family’s heroic efforts to support the belief that all men are created equal. Learn about the joys, the tragedies and sorrows that befell this patriotic family during a remarkable period of growth, change and strife. We will also be discussing the various legends that surround the estate, even some of the ghosts that still call Prospect Place home.
​
After the tour, you are welcome to explore the mansion and estate and do a little ghost hunting of your own, to see for yourself if the legends are true.  Bring a flashlight, camera, and perhaps a voice-recorder; there’s no telling what you’ll discover.
