You can go on a tour of Richmond Town during the day with the tour guides,(but it's more fun to explore at night). The up stairs in the children’s house smells like a hospital, and the kitchen of the children’s house still smells like the burning of the stove after a meal.

There is also a small graveyard next to the old courthouse in Richmond Town, which has many restless spirits in it.
