Virtual Ghost Tour
Our Virtual Ghost Tour, held on October 16, 2025 at the Mt. Airy Branch of the Carroll County Public Library, was a rousing success, with approximately 50 attendees. This tour was designed for those who were unable to participate in the walking tours and gave attendees a first hand look at the fascinating history of Mount Airy and its ghosts. Several visiting ghosts brought the stories to life and made for a very informative and entertaining presentation. Our thanks to Kari Kelly and staff of the Mt. Airy Library for helping us to bring this tour to life! Below are photos of the event.
