Park Rangers will tell this dynamic story before leading the group through the dark tunnels of Fort Warren.
The Lady in Black is supposedly an apparition on George's Island; a young woman in black robes that wanders about the grounds.
She is Mrs. Andrew Lanier, wife of a Confederate soldier that was imprisoned there in 1861.
Edward Rowe Snow, a 20th century local historian, had popularized the myth.
Designed Especially for kids!
