We invite community members to <strong>sponsor a flag for a military service member</strong>, whether it be a family member or someone you know. These flags will be displayed on Memorial Day and again on July 4th. The flags will be standard-sized with metal posts. For a donation of $100, we will order the flag and display it at the museum. Applications can be submitted below or in person at the museum. At the conclusion of the events, the flags will be returned to the families.</p></div>

Using a variety of ghost-hunting equipment, we’ll explore the mysteries of this fascinating location. You’ll also experience the Estes Method, an advanced spirit communication technique that brings you closer to the unseen. Prepare for a night of discovery as we uncover what lingers within these historic walls!</p>
