This October, history gets a haunting makeover with the Tales from the Rails tours at the Southern Museum of Locomotive History. These special tours offer a unique mix of Civil War history and eerie ghost stories that are sure to capture the imagination of visitors.
The experience kicks off with an engaging interactive element right in the museum lobby. Guests will be transported back in time to a Civil War aid station, where a living historian will demonstrate the medical techniques of the 1800s. From battlefield injuries to the primitive tools used by doctors, this is a chance to ask questions and gain insights into the era’s healthcare practices.
After learning about Civil War medicine, the tour continues through the museum, where guides will share a variety of spooky ghost stories and railroad legends. These tales from the past blend history with a touch of mystery, bringing a new perspective to the events of the Civil War era.
There’s no need to reserve a spot in advance, as the tours are included with regular museum admission. Simply arrive, join the group, and enjoy a journey filled with both history and a few haunting surprises.
For those who love both historical stories and a good ghost tale, Tales from the Rails is a fun way to explore the past and celebrate the fall season.
