A Haunted Whodunit
LOST SOULS of SMOKEY ROW

Picture

Help us solve this
​century old mystery!

👻 Lost Souls of Smokey Row: A Haunted WhodunitStep back into Lemont’s rowdiest past — when saloons lined Stephen Street, canal workers filled the town, and secrets whispered through the limestone.

On Friday, October 3, 2025 at 6:00 PM, the Lemont Area Historical Society invites you to take part in a one-night-only experience: Lost Souls of Smokey Row: A Haunted Whodunit.
​
This interactive fundraiser is based on a true Lemont ghost story. You’ll step into the world of Jack Barnes’ infamous saloon, meet colorful characters (and restless spirits), uncover chilling clues, and work with fellow detectives to solve the case of two lost souls whose presence still lingers in Lemont.

  • A chance to WIN $100 if you guess the correct villain.
  • A chilling haunted whodunit game set inside the historic Old Stone Church.
  • Live hosts and characters bringing Lemont’s ghostly history to life.
  • Spine-tingling clues and eerie interjections from the “other side.”
  • Your chance to vote for who you think is guilty — and see how the mystery unfolds.
