History: The Leach Opera House was built by Louis B. Leach in 1881. The Opera House was on the main level, and a Sanitarium with Russian and Turkish baths were in the cellar. The building was sold in the 1920's to Stewart Funeral Home and became the place deceased citizens were handled, from embalming to the final farewell service until 1998. The building sat empty until 2012, when Richard and Teresa Weixelman purchased it. Teresa thought the cellars below the deserted opera house would make an excellent haunted house, so she asked if any of her family would help, and the Haunted Opera House was born. In October 2013, the cellar was transformed into haunted passageways where creepy souls lurk in search of unsuspecting strangers. Every year in October, the cellar opens so friends and strangers may come "get their scare on"!
