SUMMARY:Paranormal Investigation: Four Locations\, One Haunted Evening!
DESCRIPTION:Join us May 16th to investigate not one\, but FOUR locations in one night. The Hanover Tavern\, the Old Stone Jail\, the Historic Courthouse\, and the Hanover Branch Library are all tied together in history; and now you’ll be able to investigate each of them.\nThe Hanover Tavern: The earliest portion of the Tavern being built in 1791\, there was a Tavern on the property spanning back to 1733. One of only a few surviving colonial-era Taverns in the United States\, the Hanover Tavern hosted such historic figures as George Washington\, Lord Cornwallis\, Patrick Henry\, P.T. Barnum\, Marquis de Lafayette\, and more. Both Union and Confederate troops utilized the Tavern on their way to and from the battlefields. \nThe Old Stone Jail: Built in 1835\, the Old Stone Jail was not a place you wanted to spend any time; criminals of all kinds were kept within these walls. The jail consists of 4 rooms; 2 cells occupy the lower floor\, one cell on the upper floor\, and one room that housed the jail’s warden and his men. It wasn’t until 1916 that glass windows were installed in the building. Prior to this\, the only thing protecting inmates indoors from the cold\, harsh winters outdoors were iron bars. \nThe Historic Courthouse: The Third-longest continuous-use courthouse in the United States sits here in Hanover County; the Historic Hanover Courthouse. Built in 1735\, the courthouse saw countless cases. Most significantly\, this Courthouse played host to Patrick Henry when he argued the Parsons’ Cause case – a spark of the American Revolution. Many troops passed by the Courthouse – both during the Revolutionary War and Civil War. Sustaining mild damage during the American Revolution\, the courthouse was repaired in time to see further conflict during the Civil War. The Battle of Hanover Courthouse brought heavy skirmishes to the area on May 27\, 1862\, and when the Union forces returned to the Courthouse at the end of May 1864\, they imprisoned Hanover County’s Clerk of Court. \nThe Hanover Branch Library: Built in the 1940’s\, the Hanover Branch Library resides on land once part of the Hanover Tavern property. Directly at it’s back door lies the Thilman Burial Grounds\, where previous Tavern owners and family were laid to rest. Build directly across the street from the Old Stone Jail\, the Hanover Branch Library rests on hundreds of years of history. \nFor years\, guests of each of these locations report eerie experiences of ghost apparitions\, smells\, and un-explainable noises. For the first time ever\, we have access to investigate those claims. Are previous Hanover Tavern keepers still roaming the halls? Are inmates still inhabiting the cells of the Old Stone Jail? Or are court cases still being played out to this day in the Historic Courthouse? It’s time to find out for yourself. \nWe have investigated all of these locations numerous times and have come away with proof of the paranormal on every visit. Guests of these locations often report eerie experiences of ghostly apparitions\, smells\, and noises that could never be explained. \nThis is a fundraising investigation! All proceeds of this event directly and entirely benefit Hanover Tavern Foundation\, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. \nGet Tickets: May 2026 Investigation
