Comprised of 3 types of stone (Turkish Limestone, Italian Marble, and Indian Pink Sandstone), more than 34,000 individual pieces were carved by hand in India, shipped to the USA, and assembled like a giant 3-D puzzle. Take a trip on a cultural exploration without a passport.

Whether it's tales based on local legends, handed down over the decades, or recent paranormal investigations, our professional storytellers will regale you with stories that will send a chill down your spine. Come find out, if you dare, why Lawrenceville has the most popular ghost tour in Metro Atlanta.
