After the collapse of the Lemp Brewing Empire, the Lemp Brewery lived on and became the largest shoe manufacturing plant in the world. Sold at auction to the International Shoe Company for 1/20th its value, the brewery remained a major industrial complex until it was forced to shut down due to the construction of Interstate 55.
For the next 30 years, the brewery and its dark recesses sat quietly and were nearly forgotten until it was sold again in 1993. Even today, some underground tunnels and basements are still waiting to be rediscovered.
During this tour, you will learn of the horrific events that occurred in the Lemp Brewery Bottle Works during these 30 years of silence. Explore the very areas and follow in the footsteps of the victims of these horrors who unfortunately met their fates in the Haunted Lemp Brewery Bottle Works.

Very good tour. Gave me information of past events that I never knew. It was a bit spooky. The guide was very good. My 14 yo granddaughter enjoyed it too.

Had an AMAZING time on this tour with Dr. Farley!!! So many cool stories and historical information about the lemp brewery and surrounding area. Mark answered all of our questions and told us some of his first hand experiences! Very family friendly and everyone was very very respectful of our service dog! Even Saint (service dog) had a blast!!! Would 100% go again!!!

Tour was interesting. Dr. Mark was very informative. We saw the basements of a few different buildings and talked about how they operated while the brewery was open as well as some paranormal activity during the time when the buildings were not in use. If you love history, old buildings, and the paranormal this is the tour for you.
