Featuring local historian and author Todd Carr.
The Crenshaw Mansion, operated for many years as the tourist attraction known as the “Old Slave House,” has long been a source of local folklore and fascination.
Described as one of the “Most Haunted Houses in America”, the building served as home to John Hart Crenshaw, operator of the saltworks and allegedly a player in the reverse Underground Railroad.
Todd Carr will share some of these stories.
