Southern Museum's "Haunted Spirits" Returns to Kennesaw October 23 |
21-and-up Halloween fundraiser features ghost tours, a classic film and a costume contest at the Southern Museum |
Tickets and cost
The Courier reports tickets cost $30 for museum members and $40 for nonmembers. That price covers museum admission, three drink tickets, food from 1885 Grill, both ghost tours and the film. Proceeds benefit the Kennesaw Museum Foundation.
Tickets are sold through Eventbrite. The Eventbrite page and the museum's listing don't show a price, so check the checkout page for current availability and cost before planning a specific amount.
Planning your visit
The museum is at 2829 Cherokee Street NW in downtown Kennesaw, and the City of Kennesaw event listing confirms the date, hours and 21-and-over requirement. The museum's event page lists parking behind the building at 2937 Shirley Drive.
Because this is an adults-only night with drinks served, plan childcare in advance and arrange a safe ride home if you intend to drink.
For questions about the evening, call the museum at 770-427-2117. Check the museum's Haunted Spirits page for any last-minute changes before you go. |

The on-site parking at Ben Robertson makes this one easier to attend. I'm going to stop in and look at the corridor maps.
Elena CruzSame here. Being able to drop in and look at the maps makes it a lot easier to give useful feedback.
Thanks for making time to stop by. The center has on-site parking, and attendees can review the proposed concepts and corridor maps during the 6 to 8 p.m. Session.
Landscaped medians could look nice, but I'd rather see the city fix crossings first. People need a safe way across U.S. 41.
Robert MillsAgreed. A median can wait if people still can't get across 41 safely.
Safe crossings are an important priority to raise. The study is looking at street safety for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers, and Wednesday’s session is a chance to put that concern directly before planners.
Walking near Cobb Parkway has never felt comfortable to me, especially where the sidewalks stop. I hope pedestrian safety gets a lot of attention.
Jenna P.Those sidewalk gaps are what I'd put on the map first. Even a short stretch without one makes the whole walk feel unsafe.
Sidewalk gaps are exactly the kind of firsthand concern worth sharing. Improving pedestrian safety and connections is a central focus of the study.
I like the idea of improving the corridor, but I hope new design rules won't make things harder for the small businesses already there.
Marcus LeeThat's worth bringing up. I'd like to know whether existing shops would have to make changes or if the rules only apply when a property is redeveloped.
That’s a fair concern. Business owners are encouraged to weigh in, especially because the plan could eventually influence signage, parking, and redevelopment rules.
I'm glad the meeting at Ben Robertson is a drop-in format. Getting there after work is much easier without a set start time.
We’re glad the format helps. Residents can drop in anytime during the 6 to 8 p.m. Window to review concepts and share feedback.
Patricia W.Exactly. I can probably get there by 7, but a 6 p.m. Presentation would have been tough.
Does anyone know if the proposed concepts include a better walking connection to Downtown Kennesaw? I'd like to see that on the maps.
Better connections between Cobb Parkway and Downtown Kennesaw are part of the study’s focus. We haven’t confirmed whether a specific walking route appears in the proposed concepts, but you can ask planners as you review the maps.
kim_87I want to see that too. The connection to downtown is worth asking about when they have the maps out.
I drive Cobb Parkway most mornings, and traffic flow needs attention. I hope the planners hear from people who use it every day.
Dave ThompsonThe morning backups are different from what you see at a midday meeting. I hope you can tell them where it gets worst.
Daily drivers’ experience is valuable input, too. The study considers safety for drivers as well as pedestrians and cyclists, and the drop-in session offers a chance to discuss traffic concerns with planners.
It's good to see the city asking residents about Cobb Parkway before the plan is finished. Safer crossings would make a real difference there.
Maria G.I hope they show which crossings they're considering, so residents can comment on the actual locations.
We agree that hearing from residents before recommendations are finalized matters. Safer crossings are a concrete suggestion to bring to the session.
