During the Civil War, Fort Mifflin served as a Union army prison. Its most famous inmate was Private William H. Howe, a Union soldier who became the first and only prisoner to be executed at Fort Mifflin on August 26, 1864.
Does Howe’s spirit still occupy the Fort? You be the judge! From 7 PM to midnight, the Fort will host a special paranormal event devoted to Private Howe.
You can also review the facts surrounding Howe’s trial and execution and decide whether he was guilty or innocent.

A historical look at Howe’s case led by a Fort Mifflin historian.

Premium package ($65.00)
