Huron Haunts
(A fundraising activity of the Lawrence County Museum. Click for more information on fundraisers)
On Oct. 25, 2013, about 70 visitors explored the history of Huron, heard about an 1861 troop train crash, the murder of a beloved O & M railroad stationmaster, the gruesome death of a regular lawbreaker. Re-enactors shared tales of what happened at each site. Soup and sandwiches were provided by Huron's WTK Club, and Believe Paranormal presented a short presentation on the strange sights and sounds found at a local Huron bridge.
