Join Park Rangers on Georges Island as they share the famed folklore tale of the Lady in Black- the ghost that haunts Fort Warren. Park Rangers will tell this dynamic story before leading the group through the dark tunnels of Fort Warren. The Lady in Black is apparition who allegedly still wanders George's Island- a young woman in black robes that has been seen on 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, popularized the myth. Ferries depart regularly from Long Wharf in Boston and the Hingham Shipyard.
