Guests may bring their own ghost-hunting tools or use equipment provided on site while a costumed guide shares accounts of uncanny happenings drawn from the museum’s past. Recent reports surround the 2026 Semiquincentennial exhibit, including unexplained footsteps after closing and speculation about a 19th-century preservationist unsettled by changes made during filming for a USA 250 documentary project.
