Punta Gorda is, by all appearances, a charming Victorian town, founded by hard-working pioneers and bold visionaries. However, its genteel veneer glosses over a sordid past. Discover the dark history of Punta Gorda – human sacrifice, lust, tragic deaths, and murders.
Come join us and our tour guide Eric of Southwest Florida Walking Tours as we continue to celebrate our Diamond Jubilee Anniversary for a 1-1/2 hour virtual tour of historic and haunted downtown Punta Gorda. Learn the true history from the town’s original founding to today, and hear about actual accounts of the spooky experiences associated with the locations he presents to you.
This event is open to the public. Admission is free for PGICA Members and $5 for the General Public. Seating is limited, so you are encouraged to register in advance to book your spot. Go to pgica.org - Calendar Special Events to register.
BYOB and Snacks if you like. There will be a door prize of 2 tickets for a Punta Gorda Walking Tour and all attendees will be entitled to a $5 discount for a future walking tour.
