Ghost & Legends: Walking Tours Through NoDa

 

The Back in the Day Committee has researched ghost stories passed down from previous decades, interviewed people who have lived here for generations and listened to some of our neighbors’ more contemporary stories over the years. We’ve compiled the best of these tales into our annual Ghosts & Legends Walking Tours, which take place every October here in NoDa.It's a great way to hear about NoDa's rich and colorful history from our beginnings as mill villages to now. You might even finally figure out why it feels like you are being watched when you walk down North Alexander Street. 

 

Shoot us an email if you have questions about our events, would like to be more involved with the committee, have a ghost story of your own to share, or know any current or former residents we should interview so we can capture our neighborhood's history: backintheday@noda.org
