Come
one, come all (if you dare), for a historic Ghost Walk through the
grounds here at Latta! Join us October 24th and 25th to venture into the
past's dark depths. You'll walk over grounds still visited by the undead
& through grisly scenes. Groups will move quickly, so you won't want
to get left behind inthe dark. Who knows what's
out there!
Admission
is $7 per person. Small children are not recommended.
Historic Latta Plantation is funded in part by an annual
operating grant from the Arts and Science Council of Charlotte.
