Tickets are $75 for a full 4 hours of ghost hunting, and proceeds go to help restore and renovate the building. Learn more and get your tickets at hmtbc.org/programs-events

"Is the Historic Masonic Temple haunted???"

While we can't confirm or deny any ghostly presence in the HMT, we invite you to find out for yourself! Ghost Tours with Nicole Beauchamp are back on April 11th and TICKETS ARE GOING FAST! Take a tour of the building and learn the lore with Nicole Beauchamp, then take a full 3 hours to explore and gather your own evidence!

One of our biggest reasons for putting on these events is the music. So, in sharing that music with you, we will be posting the set lists from our DJ’s after each event to better help y’all add any of the tracks you like to your personal playlists.

Without further ado, here are the set lists from our Feb 8th event! 🤘🏼💀
