Plan ahead now for some educationally entertaining Halloween fun! On Saturday October 26th and Saturday, November 2, 2013, Century Village, in the center of Burton in Geauga County will be the site of an historical Ghost Tour. Attendees will learn about the local history of the area, with a special focus on the pioneers of Geauga County and the greater Connecticut Western Reserve. Because the Ghosts of Burton Historical Tour will weave through several buildings on the Century Village grounds, we will also discuss some of the folklore and stories relating to those structures, including some local legends of ghostly activity. Part of the tour includes a trip to the old cemetery to view very old headstones and learn about the pioneers and other townsfolk buried there. The tour guides will also discuss “fashion” in headstones and interesting facts about graveyards and burials. Pre-registration and prepayment is required. Tour times are 6:00 pm, 7:00 pm, and 8:00 pm. Each tour lasts for about 2 ½ hours. The cost is $22.00 per person. For more information, contact the Ghosts of Burton Tour at 440-313-5290 or GhostsOfBurton@gmail
