Haunted Jail

Join us each October for the Haunted Jail event!

Volunteer groups (organizations, businesses, clubs, schools etc) will be assigned an area in the jail to decorate using the theme "Haunted Hollywood" ~ Then dress up in themed costumes and scare visitors on the nights of October 18th & 19th and October 25th & 26th, from 7:00 til 10:00. Groups should be at least 3 to 5 people. If you are interested in being part of our event please contact Neil Rensch - president@franklinhistorical.org
