Tallapoosa Ghost Stories: A Walking Tour

I know I've talked about the Tallapoosa Hotel before, but I was recently rereading some newspaper archives and was excited to find the price of rooms and a few other details I didn't know. This hotel is reportedly where Ralph Spencer stayed when arriving for his first visit to Tallapoosa, and where the idea for The Lithia Springs Hotel, manifested.
I also have included President Benjamin Harrison''s speech when he stopped in Tallapoosa on the train. He was the first president to ever venture out on "whistle stop" campaigns. I'm sure it was a thrilling day when he came to Tallapoosa!

It made us so happy to see this amazing lady on the cover of West Georgia Woman Magazine for their October issue!
Mary Tolleson is a Tallapoosa icon and one of our most prolific historians in regards to Tallapoosa history. I first met her as a child when she was my enrichment teacher. Now she is very much my mentor and my friend. ❤️
I have learned so much from this wonderful lady....and she is still teaching me things every day!
Check out the article on Mrs. Tolleson!

Thank you so much for walking with us! I hope you had as much fun as we did! 👻

Hello everyone! 👻 I've received a few messages asking about summer ghost walks and unfortunately, we do not do them in summer. We have tried in the past, particularly in June, and we were rained out more times than not. Our 2021 season will begin on the last Friday of September, (as always), and run throughout the month of October, (every Friday & Saturday), into November. We will of course be offering private walks again as well. :)
I know we are certainly excited about this upcoming season and can't wait to walk with you!

Do you have any stories to share? We would love to hear them. Either post here or private message us!
