The Ghost Story

Rider's Inn has been welcoming guests since 1812, first as a stagecoach stop, then as an Underground Railroad station, and later as a Prohibition-era speakeasy. The most famous ghost is Suzanne Rider, wife of founder Joseph, who still appears at the front door in her nightgown to let late-arriving guests inside. A Civil War soldier stands near the windows and waves at passersby, and a music box in the parlor starts playing on its own during paranormal investigations. Escaped slaves once hid in the basement, and their whispered prayers are occasionally still heard.
