While taking this tour with Garret Moffett, you will come face to face with the history that has refused to leave. Meet the Gibson Girl who turned society circles into séances during her life and the vengeful actor who held down a leading role as mischief maker after death. And maybe you should pause before you shake the hand of a Civil War reenactor at Camp Butler, just to make sure that his skin isn't as gray as his coat.
