During your exploration you will have access to three historic and haunted buildings of the Mine Au Breton Historical Society and adjacent small cemeteries! Their properties include the James Long Home (Long-Banta House), the Austin-Milam-Lucas Store and the Old Presbyterian Church and three small adjacent cemeteries.
The lovely Victorian Long-Banta Home was built about 1865 and was home to the prominent Long and Banta families. Many were born and even passed away within its doors. Some still call it their home today. Visitors have reported seeing shadow figures, hearing disembodied voices and experiencing other unexplainable activity.
The Austin-Milam-Lucas Store started as a rustic log cabin built in 1797 by Moses Austin, the father of Stephen Austin. As you may know, Stephen is known as the "Father of Texas". As a log cabin store it saw "Trail Of Tears" victims in 1830 and then invading confederate soldiers in 1864. Through the following years it was added onto then turned into a boarding house. In 1932, a bank clerk names Frank Flynn ended his own like by shooting himself in the heart with a .38 revolver! Some of the boarders still remain there today as visitors have experienced shadow figures, disembodied voices, phantom foot steps, being touched by the unseen and more within these walls!
The Old Presbyterian Church is the oldest Presbyterian Church standing west of the Mississippi River as it was built in 1833. It served as a church until 1907 and then afterwards gave as the Masonic Auditorium, school gymnasium, silent movie theater, Boy Scouts meeting hall and now as a museum. Visitors have reported hearing footsteps of someone who was not there, significant unexplained temperature changes and more! Do residents of the adjacent cemeteries still gather there today?
