DOWLING AFTER DARK TOUR
Dowling After Dark Tour
The Dowling After Dark Tour is an hour long deep-dive into the history and haunting of Galena's oldest house. Bring your cameras and smart phones with ghost sensing apps!
​
The Dowling House is an 1826 tour house by day...but we will take you inside at night, and go lights out to discover the spookier side of history!
Come hear the fascinating history of the Dowling family, early Galena, Illinois, and the ghostly encounters of the storied buildings associated with the Dowling family.
$20 per person, age 12+
