Taking the form of a one-hour guided walk of downtown Ithaca and its surrounding neighborhoods, the tour highlights selected sites of interest and the ‘ghosts’ who inhabited them, as the people and places of Tompkins County’s rich history are brought to life by a cast of actors, storytellers and other performers who appear along the way to highlight some of the more off-beat tales from local history.
