The Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation is bringing back its yearly “Legends and Lore Tour” this October at Rhodes Hall, the organization’s headquarters and “one of the last remaining mansions” on Peachtree Street.
Featured on Syfy’s Ghost Hunters and WSB’s Georgia’s Haunted Hidden Gems, Rhodes Hall (also referred to as the “Castle on Peachtree”) has earned a reputation as one of Atlanta’s most haunted landmarks.
Tours are offered on Oct. 24, 29 and 30, giving Atlantans the opportunity to explore the 121-year-old mansion and hear eerie stories of ghostly encounters reported by visitors and staff.
New this year is the Candlelight Hidden Spaces Tour, a nightly excursion in which participants will step into normally-restricted areas of the house (including the fourth-floor children’s playroom and the dark basement) where paranormal activity is said to be most active.
All tours include a pre-experience drink on the mansion’s front porch, with beer, wine, soda and water included in the ticket price.
Admission is $45 for the standard tour and $55 for the candlelight tour. Tickets are currently available at georgiatrust.org/legends.
