You can find out some of Lawrenceville’s spooky secrets on a walking ghost tour.

The Lawrenceville Ghost Tour is held every day in October, guiding guests around the historic courthouse square and downtown. Tour guides tell of “bizarre paranormal events” that have happened at local businesses and allow guests to try and reach out to the dead themselves in the historic Lawrenceville jail.
