This one and a half hour walking ghost tour will tell the stories of Argenta’s history from the time of its founding through the rebirth and revival. How was Argenta founded? Why do some think it was cursed?

You will learn about the original buildings, some of which still stand, the stories connected to those buildings and the inhabitants, some of whom never left.

You will hear the story of Anastasia, who still haunts a location. See photos of the Argenta Devil. Another place has an unknown entity who has his favorite spot from which he never moves. You will visit the locations where the Argenta Race Riots happened and stand in the places where history was made.

We can’t guarantee you will see a ghost, but we have some pretty interesting photographs that people have captured and even a reportedly haunted artifact. You never know what you may see!

THIS IS A WALKING TOUR, SO PLEASE DRESS APPROPRIATELY.

We will meet on the sidewalk in front of the gazebo at the foot of the Main Street Bridge in Argenta, at the intersection of Washington and Main, at the back of the US Bank building at Faucette Park. The tour will start promptly and we will leave from there.

ABOUT YOUR GUIDE AMY JONES:

Five years ago, Amy took the Argenta Walking Ghost Tour of downtown North Little Rock and fell in love with the experience. As an Arkansas historian, she found the tour very historically accurate, with the tourguide’s stories backing up the facts being related. Because she enjoyed that experience so much, Amy started leading historical tours herself and has led tours of Argenta for the last four years.

Amy has a Bachelor of Science degree in US History and in Arkansas/Southern history from the University of Central Arkansas. She is currently the director of the Capitol Zoning District Commission within the Department of Arkansas Heritage. Amy has worked at several Arkansas museums in the past, where she taught, presented, and gave tours that involved many areas of Arkansas history. She knows that truth is stranger than fiction and therefore it is no surprise that the history of Arkansas, too, has its share of strange, ghostly, and terrifying events that bear out that statement. Come take a walk with Amy though the dark history of Argenta.
