Haunted Plantation Tour
September 20

Now accepting Reservations!

256-527-2488

Once our motor coach departs from the Historic Huntsville Depot at 9:00 AM, we will travel to Tennessee where we will be met by Colonel Adam Southern who will chill and thrill us throughout the day with Maury County ghost stories! Our first stop is the circa 1838 antebellum home known as Elm Springs. Union soldiers left a burning broom as a parting gift, but before the home could be consumed by fire, Confederate soldiers extinguished it! Haunted? We'll see.

Next we will have lunch at the Athenaeum Rectory where costumed hostesses willl acquaint us with various mourning customs of a bygone era. Our delicious lunch consists of chicken with an apricot glaze, various vegetables, salad, and banana pudding for dessert. What more could a mortal ask for?

We will then travel to the Rippavilla Plantation for a haunted tour, ghostly cookies, and a spirited refreshing drink prepared by the Pie Sensations. Perhaps we will hear the sound of Confederate footsteps, a residual haunting leftover from the horrible battle of Frankllin. We will return to Huntsville around 6:00 PM. $80.00 per person includes, motor coach, historical guides, lunch, and all entrance fees.
