The Carroll County Historical Society is kicking off October with a tour of local ghost sites, but not the ghosts that initially come to mind. On Sunday, Oct.2, the group will take a bus around the county to visit the locations of Carroll County’s ghost towns. Historical Society President Barbara Hackfort says most residents are familiar with the story of the former county seat, Carrollton, but various other ghost towns are not as well known.
The tour starts Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. from the Carroll County Museum on Highway 30 with the first stop at Elba near Templeton. Hackfort says the guided tour includes details on the history and residents of these Carroll County ghost towns.
The Carroll County Ghost Towns Tour is expected to return to the museum by 5 p.m. that afternoon. Tickets are available for $20 per family, $15 per couple, or $10 per individual at the Carroll Chamber of Commerce or by calling 712-830-8980.
