The Proctor House Museum offers visitors a tour, theatre, gallery displays, and many other educational events. It also gives visitors the chance to go ghost hunting! The Proctor House is the source of many local ghost stories, which spread after numerous sightings of a fiery ball near the residence. Some stories suggest the ghost of John Nix Jr haunting John E. Proctor over financial deals, while other stories suggest it was just children flying a kite. It’s up to the visitors to investigate the truth behind the mysterious fiery ball!
The house belonged to John W. Proctor until he donated it in 1970 to the people in the area. While the Proctor family lived in the house, the house was subjected to many renovations throughout the years, such as a new circular staircase they saw on a trip south. What makes the Proctor House unique compared to other houses of the time is the hair they used to strengthen their plaster and the pine used to construct the house. Visit the Museum to see all the unique features for yourself!
