Visit a Historical Haunted Mansion on July 15

Grahams Forge, Virginia is the site of this 11,000 square foot, antebellum, 'haunted' mansion. It was constructed during three 19th century time periods and will appeal to history and architecture buffs. The house boasts original cast iron front porch columns, a mansard style roof embellished with Irish crosses, and the massive mahogany fireplace. The mansion is privately owned and has not been worked on or renovated since that time. The rich history of the mansion along with the paranormal phenomena associated with it makes this an exciting excursion. Enjoy a boxed lunch on the lawn. You will also have a tour and interpretive visit to the historic Shot Tower State Park and then end your day with a tour & tasting at West Wind Winery.
