Road Trip: Ghost hunters, get in the car and head to Cornwall for Investigation at the Historic SDG Jail. The site was a working minimum and maximum security facility from the mid nineteenth century until 2002, and investigating it on a summer evening is apparently apt to raise the hairs on the back of your neck. Tickets start at $69.99 per person, which include more than three hours of ghost hunting. Tonight and tomorrow night (Saturday July 13) at 11 Water St. West, Cornwall.
A Company of Fools open air theatre is back, this time bringing a fresh take on Shakespeare's Macbeth to the stage. Catch the play tonight in Hiawatha Park, Orléans.
