Ghosts of Herrin: A Walking Tour

03/26/2026

The Ghosts of Herrin: A Walking tour was designed to be a one time event, but with so much enthusiasm and interest, we have decided to make the tour a biennial event. Our next Ghosts of Herrin tour will be in October 2027.

We are officially calling it. The Ghost of Herrin tour will be inside at the library tonight. Your tour time will be the same and we will start in the meeting room with ticket check-in, caramel apples, cookies and more! The ghosts will be throughout the library and a guide will lead you around to hear the tales of Herrin's haunted history. The real magic of the night is our talented ghosts. so this will still be a treat!
Anyone who prefers not to get out in the rain, may contact the library for a refund next week.
