Atchison the Most Haunted Town in Kansas

On By

Saturday, October 30th, 3 library board members, 1 friend of the library and 1 library director took a field trip.

This group went to Atchison Kansas billed as “the Most Haunted Town in Kansas’. So what did this group do in Atchison?

Well first we visited the library of course!

After the library we drove around the town. We drove through Jackson park. This is a beautiful park with lots of winding roads. It is of course the site of a haunting too. Molly’s Hollow, where it is said a girl hung herself and her screams can be heard on a full moon at midnight, truth or fiction? it is for you to decide.

After our trip to the park, of course we went to the most famous haunted house of all The Sallie House. Is it really haunted? That too is for each person to decide.

Did we see anything? hear anything? or feel anything? We’ll never tell!

Next up was St. Benedict’s Abbey. A beautiful structure, in truth we were looking for peanut brittle, but alas it was not found.

And last but not least, we took the Haunted Tour! We road on the Haunted Coach for a tour of Atchisons haunted housed. We were also treated some beautiful architecture. There are some really beautiful house in Atchison, but is it haunted?  Once again that is for you to find out!

More pictures of the Atchison trip can be found on the libraries facebook page.…

First up the story hour kids had a lot to do this month. First they decorated pumpkins, then they made glow-in-the dark ghost, next up was monster buckets and last but probably the most fun for them was trick-or-treating the businesses on Central street.


Story time is every Wednesday at 1:00.

On Friday, October 29th the library held its annual Halloween Craft day, the kids were invited to come and paint ceramics, make spider webs, and make Halloween pins.

And of course we had Geography at the begining of October, this month we celebrated Japan.

WE had a little something for everyone this month. Up next?

November 9th Geography club will be having Dips & Appetizers.

Later in the month will be Thanksgiving craft day. Watch for the date.…
