Yes, this is really happening! After many years of working with Carolina Association of Paranormal Studies (CAPS) and appreciating their support in promoting local history and historic preservation, we're excited to partner with them for our first-ever public paranormal investigation fundraiser at the Davidson County Historical Museum.

This event gives guests a rare opportunity to explore the museum after hours during a live paranormal investigation and, as an added bonus, museum staff will join paranormal investigators to provide mini-haunted history tours around town to ticket holders awaiting entry into the historic courthouse.

Feel frightfully good about your purchase as proceeds directly support the Davidson County Historical Museum! For event details and tickets, please visit the CAPS page. Tickets are limited, so don't wait if you'd like to attend. We look forward to seeing you there!

The American Revolution was a complicated war. Many colonists had differing political affiliations, with some being Loyalists, others, Patriots, and some unaffiliated. This story illustrates this complicatedness and how it affected local people.
