We’ll begin the night with an Old Fashioned and beer cheese as we dive into Lexington’s limestone foundation — and the long-held belief that limestone can act as a portal between worlds.
From there, we’ll walk through downtown Lexington hearing the stories that never made the brochures: serial killers who passed through town, the horses buried beneath our streets, unsolved murders, cholera graves, and the spirits that many believe still linger in our oldest buildings.
Along the way, we’ll stop for dinner courses at several downtown favorites — including burgers, tacos, pizza, and cocktails — paired with storytelling that ranges from scandal and crime to folklore and ghost lore.
This tour is not a ghost tour.
This is a storytelling tour — and these stories are dangerously true.
Come hungry. Come curious. And maybe… don’t walk too far behind the group.
