Rugby's Annual Ghostly Gathering

NOTE: Tickets Left For October 24 ONLY as of October 10

British and Appalachian spirits of the past will be revealed at Historic Rugby's annual Ghostly Gathering . Activities begin promptly at 6:45 pm EASTERN TIME each evening and end around 10:30 p.m.

Ghostly Gathering participants will enjoy a homemade chili and cornbread dinner with slaw and fruit crunch at the Community Building followed by a "Ghosts of Rugby" short film and several stories told by oil lamp and pumpkin light at the Rebecca Johnson Theatre.

Guides on a one-block, lantern-lit tour of several buildings will relate some of Rugby's ghostly happenings through the years. A short walk up a lantern lit trail will end at the Druid's Bonfire for hot cider and more stories. The featured teller this year is Marcia Donovan of Cookeville, who has been telling stories here on the Cumberland Plateau for years at the Putnam County Library.

Event cost, including dinner, is $19.00 for adults and high school students, and $10.00 for students grades K-8. The event is not suitable for children under six. Reservations must be made in advance as event seating is limited.
