14th Annual Ghosts of Ft. Pierce's Past Walking Tours

The voices of past pioneers, railroad tycoons, cattlemen, and city founders tell their tales through new generations of residents and, in some cases, their own descendants during the 14th Annual Ghosts of Fort Pierce’s Past (GFPP) Walking Tours.

Each of the 4 tours offered lasts about an hour and will visit 8-10 “ghosts”. The first tours leave at 5:30 p.m. with additional tours leaving every 15 minutes until 7:30 p.m. Tours are $5 per person and reservations are required.
