Local legend comes alive! The legend of the land dates back to 1858 when Emily Farnam drowned in the cistern at age 7. Legend has it that Emily's spirit still lingers at Farnam Manor in Richfield, OH. Recent encounters with Emily's spirit support the legend. Come out to see for yourself! The Farnam Manor, built in 1834, is open to the public during the Spirits of Farnam Manor Lantern Tours in Oct. Guests have encountered Emily's spirit and many other ghosts of the Farnam Estate while touring the antique filled, mysterious manor house. Sometimes you feel Emily holding your hand. Objects move, shadows sweep the halls. You never know what will happen! The Spirits of Farnam Manor Lantern Tours is a fundraiser to help preserve the aging mansion for future generations.
