👻 Haunted History Hike
📅 Friday, October 30
🕡 Begins at 6:30 PM
📍Monroe County Historical Museum

Step into Albia’s past — if you dare.

This year’s Haunted History Hike will guide you through the stories and former locations tied to Red Stevenson, Bart Downs, Lizzie Alexander, Nellie Alfred, J. Logan & Marie Cain, and Ralph Goode. Follow the trail as we celebrate harvest and remembrance, honoring the people and places that helped shape Albia’s history.

Along the way, enjoy a few pop‑up Halloween performances to keep the evening spooktacular.

The hike concludes at the King Opera House with a finale featuring ghost tales and an old‑time radio show — the perfect ending to a historic Halloween night.

🎃 Bring your friends, your curiosity, and your courage. Albia’s past is waiting.

Interesting morning! I was just confronted in the alley by a man with a back telling me I have been thowing away items from the museum in the dumpster. We don't throw anything away unless it is broken. We do not use a dumpster! When I told him that he got violent and started shouting and wanted me to punch him! I don't know who he is , but watch yourselves around town
