Uninvited Guests: Haunted Mansions of the Qc

Are some of the QC's mansions truly haunted? The Quad Cities has several beautiful and stately homes. Many of them have remained, playing host to many people over the decades. But do some of them linger there still, like uninvited guests in the lives of the current occupants? Join local historian and storyteller John Brassard Jr for a night of unexpected deaths, ghosts, and the unexplained. Was the former William Bettendorf mansion haunted by Elizabeth Staby Bettendorf, the inventor's widow? Do the former commandants still walk the halls of Quarters One on Arsenal Island? These questions and more will be explored on October 4, 2022 at the beautiful, and perhaps haunted, W.P. Bettendorf Mansion, now Iowa Masonic. The presentation will be followed by guided tours of the mansion. Event begins at 6 pm. Admission $5 per person at the door. No reservations needed!
