About this Event

I’m not scared, you?

Noted as one of the top 3 most haunted locations in Rockford, let us reveal the splendor of the Barnes Mansion for you! Filled with the history of a prominent family and their friends, the early Rockford Park District, a post WW II federally funded museum project, and Burpee’s birthplace…this mansion is steeped in Rockford history.

From the finest woodworking in the Midwest, to curiosities of family and community history, you won’t be disappointed!

During this 45 min private tour, you will explore the 1800’s mansion as it transitions to the modern age. Grab your camera for photos that probably have orbs. Seriously.
