But more importantly for many of the 100,000 annual visitors, it's haunted. Paranormal aficionados have declared it one of America's most haunted buildings. It's the former home of Thomas and Anna Whaley, and at various times also housed a granary, the County Court House, a general store, a ballroom, a billiard hall, and a polling place. Prior to the building’s construction, the land was the sight of numerous hangings, including that of ‘Yankee Jim’, aka James Robinson, whose ghost is is reportedly still there. Spooky.
