Step beyond the pages of history and into the shadows where lore lingers.

Along the way, we peel back the layers of time to reveal gripping tales of murder, mystery, and scandal—stories etched into the foundations of a town born from tragedy and shaped by resilience. From there, the adventure leads to Millionaires’ Row, where the majestic Laura Hawkins House awaits. Once home to the real-life inspiration for Becky Thatcher, this Victorian gem is more than just a relic of years bygone—it’s a place where the past still whispers. Laura drew her final breath in the upstairs bedroom, and some say she never truly left.

Inside this legendary home, you’ll take part in a rare, hands-on historical paranormal investigation—an immersive dive into the eerie side of Hannibal’s legacy. Afterward, we’ll return to Expeditions for a charming close to the evening—gathering to share reflections, stories, and a few lingering chills over a spread of thoughtfully selected appetizers and beverages-some spirited, some not.
