The Kellogg House Ghost Tour
September & October, 2025
Select days

n 1898, Hiram Clay Kellogg built one of the first Neoclassical Victorian homes in Orange County. After his first wife died, he built a mansion as a gift for his second wife, Helen. His obsession with tall ships led him to design a three-story spiral staircase arranged around a central mast with a bottomless crow’s nest. In 1921, Hiram died, but Helen lived another 42 years before she died in the home. Presently, certain unexplained phenomena indicate that the ghosts of the Kellogg family may be actively haunting the uniquely designed mansion.
