History

This tour was created in 2015 for Halloween but due to popular demand it is now a continuing attraction.

Specialties

Chinatown was called the Devil's Den for almost a century due to the rampant filth and vermin that filled its alleys. In 1899 the Bubonic Plague came to the neighborhood and the residents were quarantined until the great fire destroyed what little they had. This tour focuses on plague and fire, human sacrifice and leprosy.
