❤️ Ticket sales benefit Friends of the Lott House preservation efforts!
For the first time ever, the doors of the Lott House open to the public for a paranormal investigation, inviting guests to explore centuries of history and search for traces that still linger…
During this immersive experience, guests and guides will use investigative equipment (cat balls, K2 meters, REM pod, motion sensor lights) to explore the blurred lines between the historical and paranormal. We’ll examine stories of the Lott family members who lived in this house and hear spine-chilling tales of hauntings from the museum’s current staff.
Each tour will offer a unique hands-on experience, exploring different elements of the house and the collection. Join us for an evening of discovery as we uncover the history of the Lott House, its residents, and the mysteries that refuse to rest.
This exclusive tour will grant guests access to the Lott House, a landmarked historical sight that is currently closed to the public in preparation for an extensive renovation that will transform the home into Marine Park’s first museum.
