Members of the Col. Randal W. McGavock camp (including some wives) once again
volunteered to help the Hermitage and welcome and inspect all visitors coming to the Hermitage Haunting activities.
With all members dressed in Confederate uniforms and 1860s period dress, the visitors were all greeted and duly advised
of ghost being present in the darkness beyond our check point. We can only hope they all made it through the unprotected
