The Haunted Ohio Statehouse Tours are back for 2024!
Get spooked at the Ohio Statehouse this Halloween season. This fall tradition brings together history, hauntings, and Halloween at the peoples’ house.
Tour the darkened chambers and halls of the Ohio Statehouse for the Haunted Ohio Statehouse Tours! See Lincoln’s ghost among a host of historical exhibits on this spooky tour that is appropriate for kids ages 12 and up.
Conductors lead visitors through the dimly lit limestone corridors of the Ohio Statehouse by oil lantern light.
Visitors pass the ghost of President Lincoln in an unfinished dance with Kate Chase (former Ohio Governor Salmon P. Chase’s daughter), hear and see a weeping lady in gray and get a glimpse of a green and ghostly President felled by an assassin’s bullet.
